Mathematics

The Mathematics Section of the CRDG comprises an academic group of teacher-researchers committed to improving mathematics teaching and learning for all students and school communities.

 

Our mathematics programs
  • are based on intensive research into students' thinking about mathematical concepts.
  • promote interaction among students to conjecture, prove, refute, and extend ideas.
  • build communication skills such as reading, writing, speaking, and critical listening.
  • engage students of varying abilities, including ESL and special-needs students.
  • align with national and state-level standards and benchmarks.
  • improve student achievement.
In support of this mission, our work includes
  • understanding of students' mathematical thinking and learning.
  • creation of effective curricula and other support materials.
  • promotion of applications of technology.
  • professional development opportunities.
  • support of schools engaged in mathematics reform.
Current projects are
  • Measure Up,
  • Reshaping Mathematics for Understanding,
  • Algebra I: A Process Approach,
  • The Write Way Journal Prompts,
  • Geometry: A Moving Experience,
  • Traffic on the Information Superhighway,

 

Our projects are based on research and grounded in our experience in the classes of the University Laboratory School. We create materials that respond to practitioners' needs while maintaining a sound basis in current theory. We are committed to providing the resources, materials, activities, person-to-person interactions, and educational products and services that enrich and support teaching and learning in an increasingly technological world.
