Effective NOW
The 2010 Alabama Course of Study: Mathematics is intended to serve as a framework for the development of the mathematics curriculum in local school systems. In addition, teachers also should incorporate into the mathematics curriculum the Literacy Standards found in Appendix C of this document. These standards are designed to supplement students’ learning of the mathematical standards by helping them meet the challenges of reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language in the field of mathematics. All content contained in this document is coherent, rigorous, well-articulated across the grades, and focuses on enabling students to make connections between important mathematical ideas. It is essential for educators to select and develop resources that ensure students are capable of making these connections as well as recognizing and applying mathematics concepts in contexts outside the area of mathematics. The mathematics curriculum also must provide students with opportunities to participate in mathematical investigations that lead from knowledge of facts and skills to acquisition of conceptual understanding and problem-solving techniques that enable them to understand how mathematical ideas interconnect and build on one another to produce a coherent whole.
