Power for All Students K-12 - This document summarizes the three essential
curriculum components of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
(NCTM) Standards, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)
Framework, and Florida’s Sunshine State Standards. In order for students
to have math power, content strands, mathematical abilities, and the process
standards have to be an integral part of the curriculum. Essential learnings
are identified that focus on the big ideas in mathematics. |
