Mathematics Modules for K-6

The Mathematics modules for K-6 were developed by Missouri teachers in 2001 and 2002 and are designed to build the conceptualization component in instruction of number, operations, measurement, spatial sense, and geometry.  These concept modules are designed to be integrated into traditional curriculum, as well as into other reform materials such as Everyday Mathematics, Investigations, or Trailblazers.  A major resource for the development of these modules is the translations of a Korean text book series used in the national curriculum of Korea in 1996.  

Report on Korean Mathematics to NSF

An analysis of how conceptualization of key constructs are developed in the translated Korean Mathematics series is accessible here.  The interpretive report addressed to the National Science Foundation was designed for a variety of audiences (i.e., researchers, teacher educators, curriculum developers, teachers, parents, and publishers) to help them make quality judgments about the instructional approaches and content in Korean Mathematics.
