National Math Panel• President Bush convened a National

Math Panel because of the concerns about the performance of students in the U.S.A.

March 13, 2008 - Final Report• The Hauppauge Math Committee’s

recommendations, which were generated prior to the Math Panel’s Report, align with the report’s recommendations.
