A student-centered high school math curriculum shifts the focus from the teacher as the sole authority to the student as the active learner, emphasizing student engagement, collaboration, and the connection of math concepts to real-world scenarios.
- Problem-Based Learning:
- Lessons are structured around real-world problems, encouraging students to make sense of concepts and develop problem-solving skills.
- Collaborative Study Teams:
- Students work in small groups, fostering mathematical discourse, explaining their reasoning, and learning from each other's perspectives.
- Mixed, Spaced Practice:
- Practice is integrated throughout the curriculum to support conceptual understanding and long-term retention.
- Embedded Mathematical Practices:
- Lessons incorporate the Mathematical Practices (e.g., problem-solving, reasoning, communication), making learning more relevant and engaging.
- Teacher Support:
- CPM provides extensive professional development and resources to support teachers in implementing the curriculum effectively.
