As new studies become available, CMP will post summaries on this page.
2008 CMP Literature Review
A literature search for research reports and articles on or about CMP has been conducted in the spring of 2008. The CMP Literature Review has been organized into the following categories:
CMP Comprehensive List of Articles
This section contains all of the articles and research reports found in journals, dissertations, book chapters or other sources.
The entries are arranged alphabetically by lead author and contain abstracts when available.
This section contains all of the book chapters that relate to CMP. There are no abstracts with these entries. The entries are arranged alphabetically by lead author.
This section contains titles and abstracs for articles that appear in journals. It is arranged alphabetically by lead author.
This section contains abstracts for dissertations or theses that have research related to CMP. The entries are arranged alphabetically by lead author.
If you know of other articles or research related to CMP that are not on our list, please send information to cmp@math.msu.edu.
Connected Mathematics 2 National Evaluation (in progress as of 2006)
Preliminary work is underway on a comprehensive study of the implementation of Connected Mathematics 2. The national study, which will be coordinated by Horizon Research, Inc., will compare 25 pairs of schools. Each pair comprises a CMP2 school and an appropriately matched school that uses a more "typical" middle school mathematics curriculum.
According to the study's proposal, the three primary research questions are as follows:
- How does using CMP2 instead of a non-CMP2 middle school curriculum affect the tested mathematics achievement of students?
- How does using CMP2 instead of a non-CMP2 middle school curriculum affect "achievement gaps" among demographic groups of interest?
- How does variation of implementation fidelity of CMP2 affect student achievement?
Results of the study will be made available here upon its completion and publication.
