The Role of the Focus Topics
NCTM regards the Focus Topics as a description of how an effective curriculum in mathematics should look.
But comparing the Focus Topics with most state standards reveals a very poor fit.
An exception is California. The Green Dot standards closely align with the
Focus Topics. In CA, 85% of the state assessments in mathematics are on these standards.
Focus Topics – Numbers
Focus Topics Fractions
Focus Topics Fractions, Ratios
Focus Topics, Algebra, Data
A Consensus is Emerging
In fact, standards designed in this way cut the need for intervention and support
maximal achievement for all students
The Programs in the top achieving countries follow these principles.
And their data comprises literally billions of people
