Principles and Standards for School Mathematics

participation, students seemed to feel comfortable engaging in mathematical dialogue with each other and the teacher (Hand, 2012). When teachers’ engage a wide range of learners, they essentially are inviting students to “take up space” in the mathematics classroom instruction (Hand, 2012, p. 238). In addition, Hand (2012) identified three key features present in classroom environments

Last, is Reconstructionism; the education is the principle means for building a better social order. Some of the educational philosophies have some principles in common. What they all have in common is teaching a child to live life by using knowledge, whether it be past influences or modern attributes. Which viewpoint is the best educational philosophy

Wilhelm Leibniz had no formal training as a mathematician, his contributions to the field of mathematics are still evident today. His results and work laid the groundwork for more thorough and rigorous treatments of calculus that would come later from various mathematicians. One of his most enduring legacies is the notations he used for calculus, which are still used around the world. Outside of mathematics Gottfried Leibniz made contributions to the fields of philosophy, law, and politics. Gottfried

Although some set of standards is necessary, the Common Core Standards do not work because they do not cater to the needs of the individual student. The Common Core is built around a national set of standards. Governors and state commissioners of education from the 48 states through the membership in the National Governors Association Center and the Council of Chief State School Officers wrote the standards. The Common Core Standards were first discussed in 2007. The standards were then finally released

Curriculum for primary education? To what extent does the National Curriculum 2014 for English, mathematics or science reflect current theories of teaching and learning? The National Curriculum prescribes what should be taught in both primary and secondary state schools and is set out by the Department of Education. It and when. It is organised into four blocks called ‘Key Stages’, with KS1 and KS2 in primary schools (Department for Education, 2013). There are twelve subjects, classified in to ‘core’ and

for pupil’s learning when Mathematics is connected to Science. This cross-curricular link has been chosen as I wish to further deepen my understanding of Science and its cross-curricular links to Mathematics. The essay will explain what role Mathematics and Science play within the National curriculum, what cross-curricularity means followed by the discussion of the challenges and benefits including examples of how these are applied in work-based practice at primary school within upper key stage 2

1.2 Literature review Historical context and basic Principles Even if nowadays the majority of our population is familiar with the terms digital (or online) software and tools, there is still a sample of people (or teachers) who are quite uncertain of what is available in mathematics teaching. According to Drijvers et al (2010; cited in Ruthven, 2013) a “Digital Mathematics Environment (DME)” can help teachers and students with various materials and tools of technology. Some of them can be: Games

Education is that every public school student will graduate from high school globally competitive for work and postsecondary education and prepared for life in the 21st century. The Partnership for 21st Century Skills developed a vision for 21st century student success in the new global economy. Mastery of core subjects and 21st century themes is essential for students in the 21st century. Core subjects include English, reading or language arts, world languages, arts, mathematics, economics, science, geography

THE IMPACT OF USING TECHNOLOGY ON STUDENTS’ ACHIEVEMENT, ATTITUDE, AND ANXIETY IN MATHEMATICS Maxima J. Acelajado, Ph.D. De La Salle University Manila, Philippines e-mail: acelajadom@dlsu.edu.ph ABSTRACT This was an experimental study designed to determine the effects of using technology, specifically graphing calculators, on students’ achievement in College Algebra, attitude, and anxiety in mathematics. The respondents of the study belonged to two intact classes consisting of 66 freshman students

Because of the demand for accountability in public education, schools are seeking avenues to improve instruction and student learning. One such path is professional learning. Schools invest large amounts of time, energy, and money in their teaching staffs for the purpose of impacting student achievement through improved classroom instruction. Large studies have been performed in recent years to determine those principles that most affect teacher practice and impact student achievement (Desimone
