The research paper aims to highlight the STEM approach as one of the modern integrated approaches in the field of mathematics education. STEM which means the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math has its significant role in the development of curricula in the Arab world generally and particularly in mathematics curricula. This paper addresses the definition of STEM, the justifications for its emergence and the causes for the attention it recently receives. Moreover, the paper sheds light on its objectives, content, related teaching strategies, educational activities, evaluation, characteristics, advantages and obstacles found in its application.

This paper can be seen as an overview concerning algebra in the Swedish mathematics curricula in the period of 1930-2000; the prescribed content of the algebra teaching is described and the basic ideas about how to teach algebra. The analysis is, however, focused on how the syllabi and commentary materials gave teachers more or less freedom to plan and carry out their teaching. The analysis is based on Basil Bernstein’s concepts of classification and framing.

Local Lotto is a 14-session curriculum designed for high school students to learn mathematics through an examination of the local lottery. The curriculum is organized around investigations of how local lottery games are won, who plays, how many people play, and where lottery revenues and prizes are distributed. A web-based application is integrated into the curriculum to allow students to explore the lottery in their school neighborhood, examine local lottery data, and assemble and justify their own arguments about the lottery. In this chapter, the authors describe technology's role in shaping a rich curriculum that engages students in investigating a local phenomenon while also addressing the content and practices of the Common Core State Standards of Mathematics. The chapter concludes with an outline of the challenges of integrating custom technologies into mathematics curricula and provides recommendations for future work.
