Mathematics curriculum has long been a topic of keen interest in mathematics education and remains a central issue in efforts to improve mathematics learning opportunities for students.
This Yearbook continues in a long line of NCTM Yearbooks that have addressed various facets of the changing mathematics curriculum. Although some factors such as tradition can inhibit significant change, other factors such as policy (e.g., federal No Child Left Behind legislation), societal needs (mathematically literate graduates), and technological advances (computer software, calculators) foster and...

The 11th Edition of Helping Children Learn Mathematics is designed to help those who are or will be teachers of mathematics in elementary schools help children develop understanding and proficiency with mathematics so they can solve problems. This text is built around three main themes; helping children make sense of mathematics, incorporating practical experiences and using research to guide teaching. It also integrates connections and implications from the Common Core Standards: Mathematics (CCSS-M).

This volume focuses on doctoral programmes in mathematics education. It reflects the proceedings of a National Conference on Doctoral Programs in Mathematics Education which was sponsored by the National Science Foundation. This conference was proceeded by a comprehensive survey of programmes conducted over the preceding year. The meeting was designed to generate dialogue regarding the nature of doctoral programmes in mathematics education, to discuss ways to strengthen such programmes, and to detail suggestions and guidelines for faculty engaged in re-structuring an existing programme or in...

Many phenomena have shaped mathematics education over the past five decades, including the "new math," "back to basics," and standards movements, as well as rapidly advancing technology. Throughout his career, Zalman Usiskin witnessed, participated in, and responded to these developments, reaching teachers, mathematics educators, and the international education community. Few have had Usiskin's talent and willingness to offer opinions and guidance to inform improvement efforts in school mathematics. Currently professor emeritus, University of Chicago, Usiskin devoted a significant portion of...
