Section 210:15-3-60 - Mathematics education

(a)Goal of Mathematics education. The over arching goal of the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Mathematics is for all Oklahoma students to become mathematically proficient and literate through a strong mathematics program that emphasizes and engages problem solving, communicating, reasoning, connections, and representations. The students are supported to learn the skills to be proficient and literate students and to confidently and effectively use mathematics concepts, computation skills, and numbers to problem-solve, reason, and analyze information. The clear, concise, and rigorous mathematics standards are to have Oklahoma students be college and career ready. Students will develop a deep and flexible conceptual understanding, fluency, problem solving strategies, mathematical reasoning and disposition which will have students be ready for the mathematics expectations of college and the skills desired by many employers.

(b)Format of the standards. The Oklahoma Academic Standards for Mathematics are developed around four main content strands. All four standards engage and develop skills and abilities to problem solve, communicate, and reason. The standards specify what students should know and be able to do at the end of each grade level or course. The standards are flexible in organization with high expectations and support for all students. The standards stimulate curiosity, create enjoyment of mathematics, and develop depth of understanding. The standards focus on problem solving and allows for reflective thinking for a deeper knowledge of mathematics. The standards enhance technology that is essential in teaching and learning mathematics.
