Mathland
open-in-new
<p><i>MathLand</i> was one of several elementary mathematics curricula that were designed around the 1989 <a href="/facts/NCTM_standards/vt7nTVmn">NCTM standards</a>. It was developed and published by Creative Publications and was initially adopted by the <a href="/facts/U.S._state/PFwcRIYQ">U.S. state</a> of <a href="/facts/California/zLW2vdQJ">California</a> and schools run by the US Department of Defense by the mid 1990s. Unlike curricula such as <a href="/facts/Investigations_in_Numbers%2c_Data%2c_and_Space/vRcwhcr9">Investigations in Numbers, Data, and Space</a>, by 2007 Mathland was no longer offered by the publisher, and has since been dropped by many early adopters. Its demise may have been, at least in part, a result of intense scrutiny by critics (see below). </p>
