Description: This three-year, NSF-sponsored grant refines our hypothesis that productive learning of algebra is supported by reflection on multiple solution strategies through comparison and explanation of the reasons behind the strategies. In the current project, our research team is working directly with teachers to integrate a CDMS approach into their Algebra I classrooms. Building off of our previous work, the goal of this project is to undertake substantial modifications in our curriculum, instructional approach, and teacher professional development, and then to document both the feasible implementation and the efficacy for student learning of our improved CDMS Algebra I supplemental materials.
