In particular, the Commission requested other mathematics related professional associations, such as the Mathematical Association of America, the Institute for Operations Research and Management Science, and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, to form special review committees (Association Review Groups) to provide advice to the writers as they wrote the draft version of PSSM and to provide a review of the draft following its release.

(Issues #7, #l I) Articulation: members expressed some concern that the current structure of the Standards, namely in grade bands, inhibited the coherence of the Standards as students moved through the educational continuum and made it difficult for teachers to work together to retain the connections among grades.

However, the committee recommended that the NCTM/PSSMWriting Group attempt to communicate this more explicitly to state that the mathematics in this core curriculum is strong enough to challenge all students, including those students preparing for college-level mathematics. The NCTM/PSSM Writing Group might also suggest additional formal and informal activities for students with particular interest in mathematics, including academic competitions, mathematics clubs, experiences in the workplace, special projects, and advanced placement courses.

The committee believes that carefully developed educational standards are a critical tool in promoting systemic educational improvement. The 1989 standards for mathematics began a discussion among educators about what was important in content, teaching, and assessment in mathematics.

As a co-director of the National Center for Research in Mathematical Sciences Education from 1990-1995 she directed a national working group and a local research project on the learning and teaching of middle school number and quantity. She also directs an NSF project to develop materials to strengthen the mathematics preparation of prospective and practicing elementary and middle school teachers, and an NSF Graduate Traineeship project.
