Jurisdictions around the world are struggling to help students improve achievement in mathematics. Some refer to mathematics as the language of the 21st century. Many recognize the need for all students to have strong math skills in order to recognize, understand, and explain their changing world as well as to access opportunities in the AI-infused workplaces of the future.
In July 2023, the California Department of Education released the Mathematics Framework for California Public Schools: Kindergarten through Grade Twelve, a resource designed to “help align classroom teaching with California’s rigorous math learning standards”. Moving into year two of implementation, are there early signs of promising practice that can help educators globally as we focus on improving outcomes for all students?
Join panelist Kyndall Brown (Kyndall Brown, Executive Director, California Mathematics Project Statewide Office, UCLA; California) and respondent Christine Suurtamm (Professor Emeritus, University of Ottawa; Ontario) and facilitator Jennifer Adams (Editor-in-Chief, Knowledgehook; Ottawa, Canada) for this compelling discussion.
