The Principles and Standards for School Mathematics was developed by the NCTM. The NCTM's stated intent was to improve mathematics education. The contents were based on surveys of existing curriculum materials, curricula and policies from many countries, educational research publications, and government agencies such as the U.S. National Science Foundation.
Mathematics is embedded in our lives in many ways: practical, civic, professional, recreational, and cultural. Mathematics is often challenging for students with and without disabilities to master. Com-parison studies from recent commissions and reports have focused on student results (NCES, 2004).
The Institute of Education Sciences (IES) publishes practice guides in education to bring the best available evidence and expertise to bear on current challenges in education. Authors of practice guides combine their expertise with the findings of rigorous research, when available, to develop specific recommendations for addressing these ...
Number theory is a branch of pure mathematics devoted primarily to the study of the integers and integer-valued functions. German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss said, "Mathematics is the queen of the sciences—and number theory is the queen of mathematics." Number theory also studies the natural, or whole, numbers.
The surface structure is the way a problem is framed. The deep structure is the steps for the solution. For example, when a math story problem changes contexts from asking how much it costs to reseed a lawn to how much it costs to varnish a table, they have different surface structures, but the steps for getting the answers are the same.
European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023 European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 11(1), 105-122 107 Key Ideas on Solving Mathematical Problems with Technology We have been focusing our research on non-routine mathematical problems that elicit the development of conceptual models of the solutions.
