Intro | Who | What | When | Where | Why | How

The CPM curriculum, designated one of five "Exemplary Mathematics Programs" by the U.S. Department of Education in October, 1999, is taught by more than 3,000 teachers in more than 900 schools across the country. It was originally a grant-funded curriculum and assessment development project located in Sacramento County, California. When the first edition of Algebra 1 was released in 1992, there were about 200 teachers using CPM materials, mostly in seven urban sites in California. By the 1995-96 school year there were more than 2,000 teachers using CPM materials, mostly in California, with about 100 teachers located in Washington State, Wisconsin, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C. Today CPM is used in more than 35 states.
