“Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution.”

“Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Mathematically proficient students make sense of quantities and their relationships in problem situations.”

“Use appropriate tools strategically. Mathematically proficient students consider the available tools when solving a mathematical problem.”

“Model with mathematics. Mathematically proficient students can apply the mathematics they know to solve problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace.”
...

Cancel
“Attend to precision. Mathematically proficient students try to communicate precisely to others. They try to use clear definitions in discussion with others and in their own reasoning.”
...

Cancel
“Look for and make use of structure. Mathematically proficient students look closely to discern a pattern or structure,” and “Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Mathematically proficient students notice if calculations are repeated, and look both for general methods and shortcuts.”
...

Cancel
Missing entirely from the practice standards is a discussion of how to pose problems, and, more generally, how to ask powerful questions. This is a telling oversight. Unlike in school, real problems are not served up on a platter, fully formed. The standards-writers overlooked the most basic fact of people with genuine math expertise: They find problems!

Is it too late to change this? I hope not. Solving our problem of poor mathematics education depends upon it.

• #1: Students can explain and apply mathematical concepts and carry out mathematical procedures with precision and fluency. • #2: Students can frame and solve a range of complex problems in pure and applied mathematics. • #3: Students can clearly and precisely construct viable arguments to support their own reasoning and to critique the reasoning of others. • #4: Students can analyze complex, real-world scenarios and can use mathematical models to interpret and solve problems.

a new draft will be issued for comment on Sept. 19. That's the day that comment on the first-round math content specifications is due as well.

It is problem-centered. It is integrated. It expands the content scope of high school mathematics. It focuses on developing understanding. It includes long-term, open-ended investigations. It can serve students of varied mathematical backgrounds in heterogeneous classrooms. The IMP curriculum is problem-centered. Units of the IMP curriculum generally begin with a central problem or theme. Students explore and solve that problem over the course of the unit. How long does it take for a 30-foot pendulum to complete twelve periods? How can you predict the length of a shadow? What is the best design for a honeycomb? What is the probability that the baseball team currently in the lead will win the championship, given the current record of its closest rival? What's the best way to resolve the conflicts of a particular land-use situation within the constraints of competing political and social forces? When should a diver be released from a rotating Ferris wheel in order to land safely in a moving tub of water?

The failings of a rote-memorization system are well-known: lack of social and practical skills, absence of self-discipline and imagination, loss of curiosity and passion for learning.

According to research on education, using tests to structure schooling is a mistake.

Students lose their innate inquisitiveness and imagination, and become insecure and amoral in the pursuit of high scores.

Tests are less relevant to concrete life and work skills than the ability to write a coherent essay, which requires being able to identify a problem, break it down to its constituent parts, analyze it from multiple angles and assemble a solution in a succinct manner to communicate across cultures and time.
