Mathematics: Modeling Our World (MMOW)  


New Second Edition


Mathematics: Modeling Our World (MMOW), a grades 9-12 curriculum. This curriculum encourages students to learn and use mathematical tools to explore a broad range of real-world themes. MMOW units are constructed from contemporary contexts, and are arranged by context and application rather than mathematical topic. The student-centered curriculum materials use a discovery approach and promote collaborative learning and integration with other content areas.

Each course of the MMOW curriculum offers additional resources to supplement the textbook:

  • Annotated Teacher's Edition
  • Teacher’s Resources in easy-to-use 3-ring binder which contains:
    Teacher’s Guide
    Handouts
    Supplemental Activities
    Assessment Problems
    Transparencies
  • Solutions Manual
  • CD-Rom with calculator and computer software written specifically for MMOW
  • Video with segments to accompany each unit

Modeling with Mathematics A Bridge to Algebra II     


An innovative course that offers students an exciting new perspective on mathematics, Modeling With Mathematics explores how mathematics can help explore problems real people encounter in their jobs and lives. Mathematical modeling and a data-driven approach to exploring functions helps students deepen their mathematical skills and maturity. Modeling With Mathematics: A Bridge To Algebra II has been designed for students who have completed Algebra I or Algebra I and Geometry but need review practice and motivation to succeed in Algebra II. In addition the course gives students a look ahead to many Algebra II topics.

Mathematical Models with Applications  


An innovative course that offers students an exciting new perspective on mathematics, Mathematical Models with Applications explores the same types of problems that math professionals encounter daily. The modeling process--forming a theory, testing it, and revisiting it based on the results of the test--is critical for learning how to think mathematically. Demonstrating this ability can open up a wide range of educational and professional opportunities for students. Mathematical Models with Applications has been designed for students who have completed Algebra I or Geometry and see this as the final course in their high school mathematics sequence, or who would like additional math preparation before Algebra II.

Developing Mathematics through Applications (DevMap) Project     


New CD-Rom Edition

Since the 1980s the "typical" college student profile has been changing as more non-traditional students have started their higher education later in life. Some students are entering their post-secondary education after a period of time in the work force, others after starting a family. Often students who have been away from school for extended lengths of time need to refresh and rebuild their mathematical skills and their confidence in their ability to solve challenging problems. Likewise, traditional students need to hone their mathematical skills to enter today's competitive job market. Developmental mathematics courses are offered as the first step in student success in mathematics-related programs.
Students in developmental mathematics courses are particularly in need of course materials that are written at an appropriate reading level and capture adults' interests. It is important to keep in mind that these students often bring with them life experiences, particularly from the workplace, that can be used to connect the mathematics taught in the classroom to their worlds. Yet many developmental mathematics programs simply present concepts and ask students to replicate the results while working through voluminous end-of-section exercises.

Bridges to Classroom Mathematics     


Prepare your elementary schools for implementing the NCTM Standards! COMAP has developed materials that local school personnel can use to conduct professional development workshops for elementary teachers. The materials address the mathematics and pedagogy underlying several innovative elementary school programs based on the NCTM Standards.

Bridges includes approximately 60 two-hour sessions that staff developers can combine flexibly to design workshops to meet local needs and resources. The materials consist of three groups of sessions, a handbook, and videotapes.
Each of the Bridges units includes a detailed Staff Developer’s Guide, masters for handouts and overhead transparencies, and materials lists. Some units include a video.  Learn More
