Guiding Principles of Mathematics Education Students explore mathematical ideas in ways that maintain their enjoyment of and curiosity about mathematics, help them develop depth of understanding, and reflect real-world applications.
All students have access to high quality mathematics programs.
Mathematics learning is a lifelong process that begins and continues in the home and extends to school and community settings. Mathematics instruction both connects with other disciplines and moves toward integration of mathematical domains. Working together in teams and groups enhances mathematical learning, helps students communicate effectively, and develops social and mathematical skills. Technology is an essential tool for effective mathematics education. Mathematics assessment is a multifaceted tool that monitors student performance, improves instruction, enhances learning, and encourages student self-reflection.
