Mathematics
- The Kansas Math Position
Paper has been followed with a plan to study the
degree to which the new state mathematics curriculum has
actually been enacted. After identifying how the
new curriculum has been implemented, appropriate professional
development can be provided to further improve mathematics
instruction and student learning.
-
- In addition to this formal position paper, Kansas Learning
First received a grant from the Kauffman Foundation to
conduct a statewide audit about mathematics teaching and
learning. As a joint project with KSDE, this math audit
was conducted in the fall of 2002 and has provided much
data which will help lead to improved student achievement
within mathematics classrooms across Kansas. Read a
press
release about how this study has been implemented
thus far (use the browser’s “back” button to return to

Every
Child Mathematically Proficient: An Action Plan.

-
- Initial work with the data from this audit sparked an
additional project co-sponsored by KLFA, KSDE, and KATM.
This new project, also funded by Kauffman Foundation,
involved developing a statewide mathematics conference
entitled ”Creating Positive Change in K-12 Mathematics
Classrooms.” Click here
to see more information about this conference.

- For more information about state and national professional
organizations in mathematics go to the
Kansas Association of Teachers of
Mathematics (KATM link here www.katm.org) or National
Council of Teachers of Mathematics.

- The Student Achievement subgroup was also responsible for the
initial development of this web site as a vehicle for communicating
with teachers, school leaders, parents, and the community about our
work.
