What makes CPM Common Core?
What teachers and principals are saying…
The kids seem to like the math because it is
hands-on and engaging.
-Iris Wellcome
It fosters collaboration amongst students, and it has good real-world
examples.-David Naranjo
Low performing students with a history of not being successful in math
love it and get to experience
success.-Alexandra Schneider
Keep the professional development…!
-Robert Collins
Kids complain about ‘so much writing’ and ‘explaining the math’.
-Paul Amstutz
I like that it doesn’t “feel” like traditional
math for our struggling students-Celeste Azevedo
Our best math students lack basic skills to apply
the math procedures they know.
-Bob Waterman
My teachers love it!-Christopher Bush
