<p>Is there anyone on CC who has experience with the programs of the Freudenthal Institute, the creators of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME), and especially the results in Philadelphia?</p>

<p>Holt/Harcourt has issued several press releases, but I’m not sure how much credit they give the creators for the new “Mathematics in Context.”</p>

<p>See: Mathematics in Context is based on **National Council of Teachers of Mathematics’ (NCTM) Principals and Standards for School Mathematics ** and it draws students into learning with engaging problems that make mathematics meaningful. MiC was collaboratively developed by the Wisconsin Center for Educational Research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Freudenthal Institute of the University of Utrecht in The Netherlands.</p>

<p>Principals and Standards?</p>
