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
