The results from 10 years of testing consistently show that:

CMP is an effective middle school curriculum that is accessible to all students.
CMP students do as well as, or better than, non-CMP students on tests of basic skills, and outperform non-CMP students on tests of problem- solving ability, conceptual understanding, and proportional reasoning.
CMP students can use basic skills to solve important mathematical problems and are able to communicate their reasoning and understanding.
By the end of grade 8, CMP students show considerable ability to solve non-routine algebra problems and demonstrate a strong understanding of linear functions and a beginning understanding of exponential and quadratic functions.
