Making Authentic Mathematics Work for All Students

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Mathematics Education Library ((MELI,volume 24))

Abstract

In an attempt to improve education for all students, U. S. educators and employers have independently developed voluntary national standards for academic subjects and for various occupational skill clusters. These standards pose a special challenge to mathematics: to develop a core curriculum suitable for all students that is grounded in authentic, concrete tasks in which important mathematics is embedded in meaningful and realistic problems from life and work.
