Grades 6-7 Math
In Grades 6 and 7, we have implemented the use of the Connected Math Program. CMP is a problem-centered curriculum promoting an inquiry-based teaching-learning classroom environment. Mathematical ideas are identified and embedded in a carefully sequenced set of tasks and explored in depth  to allow students to develop rich mathematical understandings. The CT Core Standards and the Standards for Mathematical Practice emerge as students pursue solutions to problems.
