Jointly funded by MDRI and DTPE, this two-year project will develop             calculator-based instructional materials in mathematics for students in         grades 4-6 and will prepare teachers to use those materials in their            classrooms.  These materials will stress the development of students'           problem-solving skills and will facilitate the transition to algebra.  A        total of 50 to 75 lessons will be developed, along with accompanying            teachers' manuals.  During the first year of the project, a total of six        teachers from three schools in the Chicago metropolitan area will pilot         test the materials in their own classrooms.  During the second year, the        revised materials will be field tested by a total of 20 teachers from 10        schools, who will simultaneously participate in an academic-year course         on their content and use.  The evaluation will measure the project's            effect on student learning of and attitudes towards mathematics.                                                                                                The University of Illinois at Chicago is contributing as cost-sharing an        amount equal to 67% of the NSF award.
