National
& State Mathematics Standards
National
Council of Teachers of Mathematics Standards. This
course is taught in a manner consistent with NCTM’s Professional
Standards for Teaching Mathematics (1991) which address worthwhile
mathematical tasks; the teacher’s role in discourse; the student’s
role in discourse; tools for enhancing discourse; the learning environment;
and the analysis of teaching and learning. The Professional Standards
state that effective mathematics teaching requires:
- knowing and understanding mathematics,
students as learners, and pedagogical strategies
- a challenging and supportive classroom
learning environment
- continually seeking improvement
The
Principles and Standards for School Mathematics are available
at http://www.nctm.org/standards/.
Principles
for teachers and schools are in Chapter 2, and Standards are in Chapter
3
-
NOTE:
Your
M201 mathematics lesson plans will be based on the Principles
and Standards for School Mathematics.
To save yourself time and inconvenience in the
future, print out the Standards
for the grade level and content area (number & operations, geometry,
problem solving, etc.) you will be teaching.
Grade level Standards are in the following
chapters: Pre-K-Grade 2 in Chapter
4, Grades 3-5 in Chapter
5, and Grades 6-8 in Chapter
6.
