Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The NCTM recommends math standards to provide guidance on instructional environments, actions, and activities that are needed to realize student goals. The standards are not intended to be followed with exactness, but rather as a guide to inform instruction. The NCTM also advocates for ongoing research to inform and update these standards as necessary. The focus should be on effective teaching and learning for all students, regardless of ability or disability, and should not be limited by national boundaries or mandates.
