2. Statistics from National Research Council & the National Academies Rising Above the Gathering Storm In 2009, 51% of United States patents were awarded to US companies. The United States ranks 27 th among developed nations in proportion of college students receiving undergraduate degrees in math, science, or engineering. Only 15% of US graduate level math and science jobs are filled by United States graduates. On the PISA exam for mathematical proficiency of 15 year-olds, the United States ranked 31 st out of 65 countries tested, and when looking just at mathematics literacy among the top students, the US ranked 28 th.

6. Grade-Level Standards  K-8 grade-by-grade standards organized by domain and content  9-12 high school standards organized by conceptual categories Standards for Mathematical Practice  Describe mathematical “habits of mind”  Standards for mathematical proficiency: reasoning, problem-solving, modeling, decision-making, and engagement  Connect with content standards in each grade Overview of the K-12 CCSS Math Standards

7. Focus on numeracy in the early grades Math Standards: Key Points Mastery means multiple representations of understanding and ability to apply it to a novel situation Emphasis on solving real-world problems Move away from a mile-wide, inch deep curriculum to more depth and focus on topics.

13. What Can Parents Do? Avoid conveying negative attitudes toward math. Ask your child what he/she did in math class today? Ask for details and explanation. Give your child meaningful problems that use numbers and shapes while you are going about everyday life. Ask you child to explain. Expect your child’s homework to include more than simple computation worksheets.

14. What Can Parents Do? Expect some confusions as part of the learning process but emphasize that effort, not ability, is what matters. Math is understandable and can be figured out. Have high expectations. Be an advocate for math proficiency in our schools. Support professional development for teachers and administrators.
