O knihe

A volume in Research in Mathematics Education
Series Editor Barbara J. Dougherty, Iowa State University
In response to No Child Let Behind, states have developed mathematics curriculum
frameworks that outline their intended curriculum for grades K-8. While some have
indicated that districts or individual schools may use their framework as a model for
specific curricular programs, others have taken a more prescriptive or even mandatory
stance. Collectively, these frameworks present a sense of the national mathematics
program and what we expect students learn.
This volume follows The Intended Curriculum as Represented in State Mathematics
Curriculum Standards: Consensus or Confusion? (Reys). While the Reys volume focused on number and operations,
algebra and reasoning strands, the Smith volume analyzes geometry, measurement, probability, and statistics strands. It also
presents an analysis what verbs used tell us about the cognitive demand of grade level expectations. This volume, even
more than the Reys volume, emphasizes the theme of variability in the content, expression, and clarity of grade level
expectations across the states.
As the nation moves toward implementation of the Common Core Standards, this volume highlights some of the challenges
teachers and other school personnel face in interpreting mathematics grade-level standards as goals for classroom teaching.
The shift from 50 state standards to one document does not resolve this basic challenge.
