Abstract

The chapter describes a partnership between the University of North Carolina – Charlotte and Socrates Academy, a public charter school in suburban Charlotte, North Carolina. The historical framework of this collaborative work is summarized, and the implementation of a unique math program, the Comprehensively Applied Manipulative Mathematics Program (CAMMP), is detailed in its most important elements. From inception through its current implementation, the program has inspired both teachers and their students to become mathematical thinkers. Beginning with primary grades students, this developmental math program encouraged deep thinking and inquiry-based understanding of mathematical concepts. The history of the partnership's development and its most salient characteristics are summarized. Perspectives from teachers and parents are incorporated, and data-based evidence of the partnership's success is described.
