Math Workshop: A Comprehensive Elementary Curriculum for Skill, Mathematical Agility, and Real Thinking

E. Paul Goldenberg
Wayne Harvey

EDC will develop a dual-purpose K--5 comprehensive mathematics curriculum designed to address two challenges. First, it will provide a learning-by-doing model of professional development, allowing teachers to gain a more profound understanding of fundamental mathematics through the natural course of their daily work. Second, it will provide high-quality mathematics content and pedagogy for both districts that want to change but need additional help and districts that have rejected the particular models of reform that have been recently developed. This five-year project will create, field-test, and evaluate the curriculum to meet these needs, based on two years of exploratory research and drawing on a developed and tested blueprint.
