The NCTM Calls it "Math" Chapter 3 of The Truth About the NCTM Standards By William G. Quirk The NCTM Says Traditional K-12 Math is Obsolete The NCTM Says Math Appreciation is the First Goal The NCTM Says Traditional K-12 Math Content Should be Replaced by: ... The NCTM Still Calls it "Algebra" and "Geometry" The NCTM Says Traditional K-12 Math is Obsolete The "Introduction" to the NCTM Standards claims that the 54 "standards" details what mathematics students need to know". Traditionalists will be puzzled by this claim. They won't find "focused, specific, basic, teachable, and measurable" math content for the K-12 years, and they won't find traditional K-12 math. They'll find the NCTM has redefined the meaning of "math", frequently emphasizing that traditional K-12 math content should receive "decreased attention". Hard as it is to believe, they want to eliminate traditional K-12 math content and substitute calculator skills, math appreciation, and a whole range of general, content-independent skills. They want to emphasize social goals and psychological considerations, not traditional math content. The NCTM wants you to believe that K-12 math should no longer cover the content that has been traditionally taught under the headings "arithmetic", "algebra", and "geometry". In the
