The Institute for Advanced Study will convene a group of research mathematicians with significant experience in K-12 mathematics education to participate in the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics/Association of State Supervisors of Mathematics (NCTM/ASSM) conference in Park City, Utah on July 21-25, 2004. This group will examine the analysis of state mathematics standards developed by the NCTM/ASSM conference from the perspective of the coherence of mathematics content and priorities and sequencing of topics across grade levels. The group will draft a set of 130 problems (roughly 10 per grade level) exemplifying core knowledge and proficiencies in a mathematically focused, coherent K-12 curriculum.
The Principal Investigator of Mathematician Study Group of State Standards in Mathematics is Phillip Griffiths.
This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the Math Study Group
project as well as to inform the public of the efforts of the Math
and Science Partnership Program. While selected documents in the
library and resources sections have been made available
to the public, only logged in members of the
Mathematician Study Group of State Standards in Mathematics project can post comments,
participate or read posts in the Working Groups, or see the interactive
Calendar.
