Abstract: This study will address the methodological flaws in the existing research base on Connected Mathematics 1 (CM1) by incorporating methodological lessons from the What Works Clearninghouse review of CM1, as reported in the Intervention Report on the website, into the current study design of Connected Mathematics 2 (CM2). This will, to our knowledge, be the first formal study to look at the efficacy of CM2. Understanding the effects of curricula like CM2 will provide more evidence for DOE in developing evidence-based approaches to mathematics instruction and informing parents and schools about those approaches. The primary respondents in this study will be 6th grade math students and their teachers.
