The Standards
The ten Standards describe a connected body of mathematical understandings and competencies. It is a comprehensive foundation recommended for all students. Standards are descriptions of what mathematics instruction should enable students to know and do.

The Standards
The standards are in two sets. The content standards and the processing standards.
The standards are in two sets. The content standards and the processing standards.
For purposes of curriculum development and teaching the two sets are inseparable.

Each standard comprises a small number of goals that apply across all grades.
Each of the content Standards offer an additional set of expectations specific to each grade band.
The appendix contains a summary of the Standards.

Although the ten Standards apply to all grades, emphasis will vary both within and between grade bands.
Because mathematics as a discipline is highly interconnected, the standards overlap and are integrated.
Those who design curriculum frameworks will need to make their own decisions about emphasis and order.

Middle-grades students are
drawn toward mathematics
if they find both challenge
and support in the
mathematics classroom.
Grades 6–8
![Page 12: 1. An Overview of the Standards for School Mathematics? 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649efb5503460f94c0dda4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Characteristics of Students
• Major physical, emotional and intellectual changes in adolescence.
Grades 6–8
• These factors make it especially important for teachers to create classroom environments in which clearly established norms support the learning of mathematics.

Middle school teachers need to know much more mathematics than is required in most elementary school teacher-certification program.
Middle school teachers need to know much more about adolescent development, pedagogical alternatives, and interdisciplinary approaches than most secondary school teachers.

Standards for Grades 9 – 12.
![Page 19: 1. An Overview of the Standards for School Mathematics? 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070410/56649efb5503460f94c0dda4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
To ensure that students will
have a wide range of career
and educational choices,
the secondary school
mathematics program must
be both broad and deep.
Grades 9–12
