CROSSROADS in MATHEMATICS: Standards for Introductory College
Mathematics Before Calculus,
published by AMATYC in 1995, gives a vision and recommendations
for introductory college mathematics before calculus. Standards
for content, pedagogy, and intellectual development are given.
This document presents a comprehensive guide for planning for
mathematics teaching and learning at the first two years of
college
- Before It's
Too Late: A Report to the Nation from The National Commission
on Mathematics and Science Teaching for the 21st Century
"The primary message of this report holds that America’s
students must improve their performance in mathematics and science
if they are to succeed in today’s world and if the United
States is to stay competitive in an integrated global economy.
The Report’s second message points in the direction of
a solution: the most direct route to improving mathematics
and science achievement for all students is better mathematics
and science teaching."

- Everybody Counts
"Mathematics is the key to opportunity. No longer only the language
of science, mathematics is now essential to business, finance,
health, and defense. Yet because of the lack of mathematical
literacy, many students are not prepared for tomorrow's jobs.
Everybody Counts suggests solutions. Written for everyone concerned
about our children's education, this book discusses why students
in this country do not perform well in mathematics and outlines
a comprehensive plan for revitalizing mathematics education
in America, from kindergarten through college."
- "Measuring
Up": Prototypes for Mathematics Assessment (1993)
An electronic version of "Measuring Up," a popular book by the
National Research Council on assessing students in accordance
with the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM)
math standards, is now available. "Measuring Up" provides examples
of problems that students should be able to solve at a fourth
grade level as well as insights on how to evaluate their responses.
- M2C - Maricopa
Mathematics Consortium Webpage
