A volume in Research in Mathematics EducationSeries Editor Barbara J. Dougherty, University of MississippiThe purpose of this book is to document the work of the Show-Me Project (1997-2007) and to highlight lessonslearned about curriculum implementation. Although the Show-Me Project was charged with promotingthe dissemination and implementation of four distinct comprehensive curriculum programs (Connected Mathematics,Mathematics in Context, MathScape, and MathThematics), most of the lessons learned from this workare not curriculum specific. Rather, they cut across the four programs and share commonalities with standards-based curriculum reform at any level.We believe that documenting these lessons learned will be one of the legacies of the Show-Me ProjectWe anticipate that the comprehensive nature of this work will attract readers from multiple audiences that include state and district mathematics supervisors,middle grades mathematics teachers and administrators involved in curriculum reform, as well as mathematics teacher educators. Those aboutto embark on the review of curriculum materials will appreciate reading about the processes employed by other districts. Readers with interests in aparticular curriculum program will be able to trace the curriculum-specific chapters to gain insights into how the design of the curricula relate to professionaldevelopment, adoption and implementation issues, and teachers personal experience using the curriculum materials. Individuals who provideprofessional development at the middle grades level will find chapters that they can use for both general and focused discussions. Teachers at allstages of implementation will recognize their own experiences in reading and reflecting on the stories of teacher change. Mathematics educators willfind ideas on how these curricula can be used in the preparation of preservice middle grades teachers.
