EDC is developing, field-testing, and evaluating a comprehensive K–5 mathematics curriculum designed to address two challenges. First, the curriculum provides a learning-by-doing model of professional development, allowing teachers to gain a more profound understanding of fundamental mathematics through the natural course of their daily work. Second, it provides high-quality mathematics content and pedagogy for districts that want to change but need additional help and districts that have tried and rejected other models of reform. This project was formerly known as Math Workshop: A Comprehensive Elementary Curriculum for Skill, Mathematical Agility, and Real Thinking.
