The Show-Me Center provides information and resources needed to support selection and implementation of standards-based middle grades mathematics curricula. The phrase standards-based call for curriculum and instruction that engages, challenges, and prepares students for continued study and growth in mathematical skills and understandings, causes them to develop mathematical habits of mind and to understand and appreciate the role of mathematics in human affairs. The intent of the Standards is that students become mathematically literate, including being able to explore, conjecture, reason logically and use a variety of mathematical methods to solve problems. |

The ARC Center promotes the wide-scale and effective implementation of reform elementary mathematics curricula. The Center consults with schools and districts and provides information and resources to support teacher enhancement, leadership development, and public awareness of mathematics reform. The focus of the center is on three comprehensive elementary curriculum programs:
- Investigations in Number, Data, and Space (TERC)
- Everyday Mathematics (University of Chicago)
- Math Trailblazers (University of Illinois at Chicago)
The ARC Center is located at The Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications (COMAP) in Lexington, Massachusetts.
