Converging Curriculum Interview Report 2007

Abstract

The main goal of the Converging Mathematics Project intervention program is to increase mathematics competency of at-risk and special education students and their teachers. For its first year of implementation, the project targeted a small cohort of teachers in grades five through nine. For its second year, the project expanded to include a larger audience of teachers. The project provides recommendations for materials and methods for extended math time interventions for at-risk students that are carefully aligned to the existing mathematics program.
