Mathematics and Science

The effective teaching and learning of mathematics and science is an important part of every child's education.

Several documents can help educators make decisions about the teaching and learning of mathematics. The National Research Council's How students learn: Mathematics in the Classroom and The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics' Principles and Standards for School Mathematics describe and discuss issues that should guide the teaching and learning of mathematics in America's schools.

The National Science Education Standards and the Benchmarks for Science Literacy describe and discuss science curriculum issues for parents, educators, policy makers and the public.
