| Abstract. Concept Mapping in Middle School Mathematics (CMMSM) is a developing mathematics intervention designed to increase the likelihood of success in Algebra I for sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade students from low-income neighborhoods. The intervention uses concept mapping to strengthen teacher understanding of the connections among mathematical concepts and to bring meaningful learning of connected concepts to their classrooms. This study details the progress of one group of 17 teachers as they learn to use CmapTools ™ to connect ideas in planning instruction using activities and textbook units. | |||||||||||||||
