For Teachers Exploring CPM
These excerpts from CPM's middle and high school courses are designed for you to run in your own classroom. Each part takes two to three class periods. Students work in pairs or teams of four while you circulate and push their thinking forward.

Four algebra tile lessons designed for students to work through in teams. Each lesson builds toward abstract algebraic thinking through hands-on, visual problem solving.
Two lessons designed for high school students to explore mathematical concepts collaboratively — one data-driven investigation, one algebraic modeling activity.
A card-based activity from CPM's 8th grade support course — designed to build fraction reasoning through games students actually want to play.

This professional learning is designed for teachers as they begin their implementation of CPM. This series contains multiple components and is grounded in multiple active experiences delivered over the first year. This learning experience will encourage teachers to adjust their instructional practices, expand their content knowledge, and challenge their beliefs about teaching and learning. Teachers and leaders will gain first-hand experience with CPM with emphasis on what they will be teaching. Throughout this series educators will experience the mathematics, consider instructional practices, and learn about the classroom environment necessary for a successful implementation of CPM curriculum resources.
Page 2 of the Professional Learning Progression (PDF) describes all of the components of this learning event and the additional support available. Teachers new to a course but who have previously attended Foundations for Implementation can choose to engage in the course Content Modules in the Professional Learning Portal rather than attending the entire series of learning events again.
