Mathematics Standards For more than a decade, research studies of mathematics education in high-performing countries have concluded that mathematics education in the United States must become substantially more focused and coherent in order to improve mathematics achievement in this country. To deliver on this promise, the mathematics standards are designed to address the problem of a curriculum that is “a mile wide and an inch deep.” These new standards build on the best of high-quality math standards from states across the country. The math standards provide clarity and specificity rather than broad general statements. In addition, the “sequence of topics and performances” that is outlined in a body of math standards must respect what is already known about how students learn. The Common Core concentrates on a clear set of math skills and concepts. These standards define what students should understand and be able to do in their study of mathematics.
