Ben-Chaim, David; Fey, James; Fitzgerald, William; Benedetto, Catherine; Miller, Jane – 1997
Contemporary constructivist views of mathematical learning have encouraged curriculum developers to devise instructional materials that help students build their own understanding and procedures for doing rational number computations, solving proportions, and applying those skills to real and whimsical problems. The Connected Mathematics Project…
