More math for more students.

CPM's Mission, Vision & Philosophy

Since 1989, CPM has been guided by a simple belief: with the right problems, the right support, and a strong community, far more students can succeed in mathematics. Here is what we stand for.

What guides us

Three commitments at the heart of CPM

01 · VisionWhere we're headed

A World Empowered by Mathematics

CPM envisions a world where mathematics is viewed as intriguing and useful, and is appreciated by all; where powerful mathematical thinking is an essential, universal, and desirable trait; and where people are empowered by mathematical problem solving and reasoning to solve the world's problems.

More Math for More Students

In a perfect world, every student would have the opportunity to learn math by being engaged and challenged. We are working to make this possible. CPM does not aspire to be the biggest publisher, we do believe we are among the few who truly put student learning first.
