Connection Standards to Meaning

Abstract

The goal of this study was to find way to make teaching math a more meaningful process for students while also making sure that they are meeting the appropriate standards. The information used throughout this poster will include the importance of the standards and how they are used differently to make more meaningful connection to students. Many consider how the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) and the Standards for Mathematical Practices (SMP) are a part of a larger political context and without equity can result in a failure of mathematics learning in students (Bartell 2017). Thus, teachers should not only teach to get students to achieve the standards but with equity in hopes of creating a more meaningful learning experience.
