K-12 MATH EDUCATION FORUM
April 24, 2008, 5:30pm - 7:30pm
Port Discovery Children's Museum

View the Math Forum Video

K-12 Mathematics Education in the U.S. fails to prepare our children for college and the global economy. U.S. students are falling behind as curriculum standards emphasize a wide array of math topics instead of focusing on the basics.

Countries such as Singapore, Japan and Korea consistently outperform the U.S. on international math assessments. Unless changes are made soon, this failure in U.S. math education will have dire consequences for our country’s work force and its ability to compete in the global economy.
