NCTM Position Statements

NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) Position Statements are official guides that outline best practices and core principles for teaching mathematics. They emphasize the importance of understanding math concepts, fostering critical thinking, and promoting problem-solving skills. These statements advocate for equitable access to quality math education for all students and encourage teaching methods that adapt to diverse learning needs. Essentially, they serve as a framework for educators to ensure that math teaching is meaningful, inclusive, and helps students develop a deep understanding of mathematical ideas.
