From CPM’s research team
Our researchers study what happens in real CPM classrooms and share it with the field, so the practices we recommend to teachers are ones we have looked at closely ourselves.

Teacher Tip #7: The importance of collaboration. Teams not clicking yet? Don’t be discouraged! Stick with team roles and give students sample statements so they know what each role sounds like. The payoff is tremendous.

Teacher Tip #6: Pacing. Feeling behind in your first year with CPM? Trust “proficiency over time.” Concepts come back again and again, so students don’t need to master everything before you move on.

Working on a story? We connect reporters with CPM researchers, curriculum authors and the districts that use CPM.
CPM Educational Program is for grades 6–12 educators who believe every student is a math person. Almost 40 years ago, our teacher-founders formed a nonprofit with two Eisenhower grants, 30 other teachers, and a borrowed van weighed down by stacks of teacher resources. Today, with that same ambitious spirit, we provide professional learning and math curriculum built as one program. Changing practices that impact the critical years when math identity takes shape is an adventure. It deserves a relationship you can rely on for the long-term.
