Connected Math (CMP)

New in NCTM’s Mathematics Teacher: Learning & Teaching (PK–12) We’re excited to share the article “Stepping Back So Students Can Step Up” (Vol. 119, Issue 2, Feb 2026). This piece highlights how two CMP teachers create a powerful sense of belonging in students!

Grade 8 Teachers, as you're teaching the Flip, Spin, Slide, and Stretch unit, here are some video links to support student engagement!⁠ ⁠ Click Here for these Video Links and more:⁠ connectedmath.msu.edu/from-the-class…

We had the pleasure of hosting a group of visiting scholars from the University of Johannesburg. Prof Umesh Ramnarain and doctoral students Katleho Leshabane, Noluthando Mdlalose, Sechaba Koma, and Lereko Mohafa joined us for insightful discussions!

We were delighted to welcome Dr. Nathalie Sinclair, a distinguished mathematics researcher and professor from Simon Fraser University, to the Connected Mathematics Project office. She engaged in rich conversations with CMP4 authors!

The CMP team and CMP teachers presented at the Conversations Among Colleagues Conference, sharing insights on collaborative teaching strategies, using CMP4 materials in digital and non-digital classrooms, and discussing how teacher educators can redesign math methods courses.

The Summer Institute is a 4-day professional learning experience at Michigan State University and is designed for educators who want to explore practical teaching strategies, rich mathematical tasks, and collaborative learning! Learn More and Register at bit.ly/CMPsi24

Happy International Pi Day from the CMP Team! Today, we celebrate the infinite, irrational, and essential number π (approximately 3.14159…)! Whether you’re measuring circles, solving real-world problems, or just enjoying a slice of pie, π is everywhere in mathematics.
