Prepared in conjunction with the Center for the Study
of Mathematics Curriculum and with support from
the National Science Foundation,Perspectives on
the Design and Development of School Mathematics
Curricula offers multiple perspectives on the design
and development of Standards-based curricula by
fifteen comprehensive curriculum development
projects.
The book represents more than fifteen years of work
on the part of teams of mathematics curriculum
developers in designing, developing, testing, and
revising innovative curriculum materials for grades
K–12. The curricula that evolved out of these
projects represent an approach to mathematics
teaching and learning that is qualitatively different
from conventional practice in content, priorities,
organization, and approaches. The insight in this
volume provides invaluable guidance to current and
future curriculum developers and curriculum users.
