Addressing the direction of high school mathematics in the 21st century, this
resource builds on the ideas of NCTM’s Principles and Standards for School
Mathematics and focuses on how high school mathematics can better prepare
students for future success.
Reasoning and sense making are at the heart of the high school curriculum.
Discover the components of mathematical reasoning and sense making in grades
9–12, including:
* Reasoning habits that instruction should develop across the curriculum
* Key elements for reasoning in five content strands
* Examples that
illustrate the roles of teachers and students in the classroom
Focus in High School Mathematics aims to bring together teachers,
administrators, supervisors, and curriculum specialists to reshape the
conversation about high school mathematics and shift the curriculum toward an
emphasis on reasoning and sense making for all students.
