• According to the Principles and Standards for School

Mathematics (2000), curriculum is more than a collection of activities, but rather is considered to be all of the following

• focused on important mathematics.
• well-articulated across the grades.
• coherent in content

- NOT: formulated on standard methods.

- The ANSWER is: focused on important mathematics, well-

articulated across the grades, coherent in content

• According to the Teaching Principle defined by NCTM,

effective mathematics teaching requires:

- The ANSWER is: understanding what students know and

need to learn

• The Technology Principle states that technology is essential

in teaching and learning mathematics.

• | P a g e

curriculum for mathematics education

• True

- The ANSWER is: True

• The Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (2000)

document makes which of the following statements about drill and practice.

• Drill may produce short term results on traditional tests

- NOT: Drill should be considered "doing" mathematics.

• Drill leads to understanding.
• Drill leads to mastery of basic skills.

- The ANSWER is: Drill may produce short term results on

traditional tests

• In order to create an environment for doing mathematics, the

teacher's role is to:

- The ANSWER is: create a spirit of inquiry, trust, and

expectations

• | P a g e

• Traditional teaching approaches lead children to accept all of

the following:

• that they should not expect a to solve a problem without a

prescriptive method.

• that there is only one way to solve any problem.
• that every problem has a predetermined solution.

- NOT: that making sense of mathematics is what is important

- The ANSWER is: that they should not expect a to solve a

problem without a prescriptive method, that there is only one way to solve any problem, that every problem has a predetermined solution

8. A desirable mathematical environment includes:

developing reasons and offering explanations.

- NOT: students are working through practice problems to

learn the mathematical strategy.

- The ANSWER is: the focus is on students actively figuring

things out, reasoning is celebrated as students defend their methods and justify their solution, students are testing ideas and
