The last three years has seen a marvelous resurgence of interest in the use of calculators for teaching mathematics. Much of the credit goes to professional organizations like the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics that have promoted the use of calculators. The renewed interest in the use of calculators in schools coupled with the sale of over 250 million electronic hand-held calculators in the last ten years in the United States (about three for each household) suggests that an opportunity exists for a revolution in mathematics education.

Education Of Students

The implementation of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (National Governors Association Center for Best Practices & Council of Chief State School Officers, 2010) has the potential to move forward key features of standards-based reforms in mathematics that have been promoted in the United States for more than 2 decades (e.g., National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 1989, 2000; National Science Foundation, 1996). We believe that this is an especially opportune time to purposely focus on improving the mathematics education of students who have historically been denied access to a high-quality and rigorous mathematics education in the United States, specifically low-income students and students of color (e.g., Kitchen, DePree, Celedón-Pattichis, & Brinkerhoff, 2007; Leonard & Martin, 2013). We discuss a challenge to realizing standards-based reforms in mathematics in the United States: computer-based interventions in mathematics classrooms.

The Subject

The history of mathematics education in America is the story of a long and exciting adventure. It is the subject of a forthcoming NCTM Yearbook, A History of Mathematics Education in the United States and Canada. The following is a capsule account of the direct involvements and the tangential contacts of the National Council with that history during the past fifty years.

Lesson Observation

Lesson study is a process of professional development highly valued among Japanese teachers (Stigler and Hiebert 1999; Fernandez and Chokshi 2002). In recent years, teachers of mathematics in the United States and other countries have begun to incorporate this process within their own teaching communities; in 2002, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics published a video guide to Japanese lesson study (Curcio 2002). Lesson study is composed of four phases, each of which brings teachers and other experts together in a process of inquiry into teaching. These phases include collaborative planning, lesson observation by colleagues and other experts, analytic reflection, and ongoing revision. Typically, each lesson may go through these phases multiple times. Each time, a different member of the lesson study group teaches the lesson while the other members observe, collecting data for analysis of and reflection on the lesson.

History Of

This book began with tourism. In the summer of 1994, a friend and I drove from Bloomington, Indiana, where I attended graduate school, to Florida for a short vacation. As we sped along Interstate 75 through northern Georgia, I spotted a brown roadside sign announcing that, at the next exit, we would find New Echota, a state historic site interpreting the history of the Cherokee Nation. For a brief time in the early nineteenth century, New Echota was the Cherokee capital, the seat of the national government created by tribal leaders in the 1820s. The Cherokee National Council met at New Echota in the years prior to removal, and it was the site of the Cherokee Supreme Court. During a time when the United States and the state of Georgia pressured Cherokees to emigrate to the West, the new capital represented the Cherokees’ determination to remain in their homeland. It was also the place where, in late 1835, a small group of tribal leaders signed the treaty under which the United States forced the Cherokee Nation to remove. I had recently become interested in the history of Cherokee sovereignty and nationhood, and I concluded that I should prob ably know about this heritage attraction. We pulled off the highway and followed the signs to the site....
