Sixth Grade Mathematics at the American School in Japan is taught by Ms. Allen and Mr. Fincher. Our curriculum
is centered on the Connected Mathematics Project (CMP), which is a series that
covers the middle grades. Project
2061 of the American Association for the Advancement of Science rated the series
as number one, with their report on the
Project 2061 web site.
The U.S. Department Of Education (DOE) Mathematics and Science Expert Panel
ranked the program as "Exemplary." The press release is on the
DOE site
and the full text of the report is on the
Eisenhower
National Clearinghouse web site.
