Welcome to another year with all its challenges. We are always wondering how best to teach our students so they will not only learn mathematics but also enjoy it and see its practicality. One of the most important documents related to these issues developed in recent years is the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics.
However, the document is not a panacea for all that is wrong with mathematics education. We as mathematics educators must familiarize ourselves with this document’s goals and objectives so that we can use it for what it was intended.
David Whitin’ s article, taken from the Arithmetic Teacher, September 1992, speaks eloquently to this concern.
