National Mathematics Standards
Published in 2000, the Principles and Standards for School
Mathematics describe
the mathematical understanding, knowledge, and skills that students
should acquire from prekindergarten through grade 12. Each Standard
consists of two to four specific goals that apply across all the
grades. For the five Content Standards, each goal encompasses as
many as seven specific expectations for the four grade bands
considered in Principles and Standards: prekindergarten through
grade 2, grades 3-5, grades 6-8, and grades 9-12. For each of the
five Process Standards, the goals are described through examples
that demonstrate what the Standard should look like in a grade band
and what the teacher's role should be in achieving the Standard.
Although each of these Standards applies to all grades, the relative
emphasis on particular Standards will vary across the grade bands.
