gg> P.S. A question I've never had answered: can anyone with firm ties to
the NCTM please venture an opinion whether or not MathLand, from Creative
Publications, conforms to the NCTM Standards.
bd> I believe NCTM policy prohibits endorsing (or bashing) vendors'
materials. Even Saxon (representing the antithesis of quality textbooks) is
permitted to rent booth space at NCTM conferences. Critiques of curriculum
materials are sometimes included in their journals, but I don't know if
MathLand has been reviewed. Even if it were, the reviews are usually more
descriptive rather than subjective. Regardless, I don't think NCTM is in
the business of branding curriculum materials with their stamp of approval
-- that's left to others. It wouldn't be a good idea.
