FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC Within this context, dozens of individual reform efforts have been initiated in recent years. Many have focused on the development of new curricula, others on teacher enhancement, some on both. Still others have taken the use of technology in mathematics instruction as their central theme. The projects listed below are but a small sample of current efforts, but they serve to illustrate the diversity of programs nationwide. CURRICULAR REFORM PROJECTS The "Connected Mathematics Project (CMP)" at Michigan State University is a five-year National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded project for the development of a middle school mathematics curriculum rich in connections. Students solve problems by observing patterns and relationships, thereby enhancing their understanding of mathematics. Natural extensions involve conjecturing, testing, discussing, verbalizing, and generalizing. In addition to student materials, "CMP" is developing teacher materials designed so that teachers can learn directly from their use and assessment materials that are extensions of the learning process.
