Curriculum--more than a collection of activities: It must be coherent, focused on important mathematics, and well articulated across the grades. Teaching--effective mathematics teaching requires understanding what students know and need to learn and then challenging and supporting them to learn it well. Learning--students must learn mathematics with understanding, actively building new knowledge from experience and prior knowledge. Assessment should support the learning of important mathematics and furnish useful information to both teachers and students. Technology is essential in teaching and learning mathematics; it influences the mathematics that is taught and enhances students' learning."(NCTM, 2000, p. 11.)
