Consensus or Confusion? The Intended Math Curriculum in State-Level Standards
Phi Delta Kappan, Vol. 88, No. 09 (May 2007): 676-680.
Barbara Reys and Glenda Lappan
Since the passage of No Child Left Behind legislation in 2002, nearly all the states have developed or revised mathematics curriculum standards that specify learning goals for each year of schooling. However, each is unique in design, organization, and grade-placement of specific learning expectations. As a collection they highlight a consistent lack of national consensus regarding common learning expectations in mathematics at particular grade levels. Recommendations for the future development of mathematics curriculum standards include focusing on a few major goals or big ideas at each grade level and collaborating across states or at a national level in the development and refinement of curriculum standards.
