Curriculum Strands




Curriculum- "A curriculum is an operational plan for instruction that details what mathematics students need to know, how students are to achieve the identified curricular goals, what teachers are to do to help students develop their mathematical knowledge, and the context in which learning and teaching occur. In this document, the term describes what many would label as the "intended curriculum" or the "plan for curriculum.""

National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Standards, p.1.



The Need for Standards for School Mathematics

"Historically there have been three reasons for groups to formally adopt a set of standards: (1) to ensure quality, (2) to indicate goals, and (3) to promote change. For NCTM, all three reasons are of equal importance."

National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Standards, p.2.



Curriculum Standards

"When a set of curricular standards is specified for school mathematics, it should be understood that the standards are value judgments based on broad, coherent vision of schooling derived from several factors: societal goals, student goals, research on teaching and learning, and professional experience. Each standard starts with a statement of what mathematics the curriculum should include. This is followed by a description of the student activities associated with that mathematics and a discussion that includes instructional examples."

National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Standards, p.7.

The State Department of Tennessee grouped the National Content Strands into 5 Tennessee Content Stand titles. This grouping allows educators to better understand the connectivity of the Content Strands within our daily applicable context. The following outline defines the Tennessee Content Strands and lists the equivalent National Strand.

Problem Solving
Instructional Practices

National Standards
Problem Solving The study of mathematics should emphasize problem solving so that students can-
  • use problem-solving approaches to investigate and understand mathematical content;
  • formulate problems from everyday and mathematical situations;
  • develop and apply strategies to solve a wide variety of problems;
  • verity and interpret results with respect to original problems;
  • acquire confidence in using mathematics meaningfully.
Increased Attention
  • Word problems with a variety of structures
  • Use of everyday problems-
  • Applications-
  • Study of patterns and relationships-
  • Problem-solving strategies-
Decreased Attention
  • Use of clue words to determine which operation to use-
Mathematics as Problem Solving
Tennessee's Definition
Process Standard


The study of mathematics must emphasize Problem Solving opportunities which require various approaches to investigate, understand, and apply mathematics concepts.

"Problem Solving must be the focus of school mathematics."

Mathematics as problem Solving" emphasizes the learners' use of strategies to:
Investigate and understand content.
Recognize and formulate problems.
Solve a wide variety of problems.
Generalize solutions and strategies, applying them to new problems.
Acquire confidence in their ability to use mathematics meaningfully (NCTM, 1996).

Mathematics As Communication
Instructional Practice

National Standards
Communication The study of mathematics should include numerous opportunities for communication so that students can-
  • relate physical materials, pictures, and diagrams to mathematical ideas;
  • reflect on and clarify their thinking about mathematical ideas and symbols;
  • relate their everyday language to mathematical language and symbols;
  • realize that representing, discussing, reading, writing, and listening to mathematics are a vital part of learning and using mathematics.
Increased Attention
  • Discussing, writing, reading, listening to mathematical ideas-
Decreased Attention
  • Doing fill-in-the-blank worksheets-


Mathematics as Communication
Tennessee's Definition
Process Standard


The study of mathematics must emphasize Communication by requiring opportunities to explain, conjecture, and defend one's ideas orally, in writing, and through the use of technology.

"The best accomplishments in problem situations involve students having an opportunity to read, write, and discuss ideas in which the use of mathematical language become natural."

"Mathematics as Communication" focuses on the learners' development of using language and symbols to:
clarify thinking about mathematical ideas and situations.
Express mathematical ideas orally, in writing, and with physical material, pictures, and diagrams.
Understand and value the role of mathematical notation.
Realize that representing, discussing, listening, writing, and reading mathematics are vital aspects of mathematics study and use.

Mathematics As Reasoning
Instructional Practice

National Standards
Reasoning The study of mathematics should emphasize reasoning so that students can-
  • draw logical conclusions about mathematics;
  • use models, know facts, properties, and relationships to explain their thinking;
  • justify their answers and solution processes;
  • use patterns and relationships to analyze mathematical situations;
  • believe that mathematics makes sense.
Increased Attention
  • Reasoning in spatial contexts-
  • Reasons with proportions-
  • Reasons from graphs-
  • Reasoning inductively and deductively-
Decreased Attention
  • Relying on outside authority-

Mathematics as Reasoning
Tennessee's Definition
Process Standard


The study of mathematics must emphasize Reasoning which critical thinking, logical arguments, and justification of solutions, of thought processes, and of conjectures.

"The demonstration of good reasoning should be rewarded even more than the learner's ability to find correct answer."

"Mathematics as Reasoning" concentrates on leading the learners to:
draw logical conclusions about mathematics.
use mathematical models, facts, properties, and relationships to explain their thinking.
justify solution-finding processes and answer.
use patterns and relationships to analyze mathematical situations.
make and evaluate mathematical conjectures.
believe that mathematics make sense.

Mathematical Connections
Instructional Practice

National Standards
Connections The study of mathematics should include opportunities to make connections so that students can-
  • link conceptual and procedural knowledge;
  • relate various representations of concepts or procedures to one another;
  • recognize relationships among different topics in mathematics;
  • use mathematics in other curriculum areas;
  • use mathematics in their daily lives.
Increased Attention
  • Connecting mathematics to other subjects and to the world outside the classroom-
  • Connecting topics within mathematics-
  • Applying mathematics-
Decreased Attention
  • Learning isolated topics-
  • Developing skills out of context-


Mathematical Connections Tennessee's Definition Process Standard


The study of mathematics must emphasize making connections among the various topics within mathematics, between mathematics and other disciplines, and between mathematics and "real world" situations.

Unless the learners connect ideas both among and between areas of mathematics, they learn isolated skills rather than develop the ability to recognize general principles and procedures relevant to serval areas.

"Mathematical Connections" concentrate on enabling the learners to:
See mathematics as an integrated whole, linking conceptual and procedural knowledge within the discipline and relating multiple representations of concepts or procedures to one another.
Apply mathematical thinking and modeling to solve problems that arise in other disciplines and curriculum areas, such as art, business, music, psychology, industrial arts, computer technology, social studies, and sciences, such as biology, chemistry, and physics.
Use, recognize, and value roles of mathematics in their lives, culture, and society.

Grades K-5



National
Standards
Grades K-4 Grades 5-8
In grades K-4, the mathematics curriculum should include two- and three-dimensional geometry so that students can:
describe, model, draw, and classify shapes:
investigate and predict the results of combining, subdividing, and changing shapes;
develop spatial sense;
relate geometric ideas to number and measurement ideas;
recognize and appreciate geometry in their world.
In grades 5-8, the mathematics curriculum should include the study of the geometry of one, two, and three dimensions in a variety of situations so that students can;
identify, describe, compare, and classify geometric figures;
visualize and represent geometric figures with special attention to developing spatial sense;
explore transformations of geometric figures;
understand and apply geometric properties and relationships;
develop an appreciation of geometry as a means of describing the physical world.
