Some text here about the topic of discussion

​Why Principles and Standards for School Mathematics?

• The world is changing – call for change from NCTM,

MAA, AMS, NRC, NSB, AERA, CEEB, ETS

bombarded with “mathematical” information

workplace challenges to learn new skills

lives are being reshaped by changing technologies

• Our students are different

they are comfortable with and use technology

they have competing demands on their time

they are used to visual stimulation & access to information

• School mathematics is not working well enough

for enough students
