EquityExcellence in mathematics education requires equity—high expectations and strong support for all students.

What Does “All Students” Mean?
It does NOT mean that all students are the same. Students have different abilities, needs, and interests. Yet all students deserve an opportunity to understand the power and beauty of mathematics, and they need to be able to use mathematics in their personal lives, in the workplace, and in further study.

Teaching
Effective mathematics teaching requires understanding what students know and need to learn and then challenging and supporting them to learn it well.

Curriculum
A curriculum is more than a collection of activities: it must be
•coherent, •focused on important mathematics, and•well articulated across the grades.
