Lane County Mathways Teachers say that these documents communicate that high school mathematics needs to do the following. What do you think? What would you add?

• have mathematical modeling as the primary focus of every math course

• support students in leaving high school with the quantitative literacy and critical thinking processes needed to make wise decisions in their personal lives

• promote authentic learning that is widely applicable to create students that are ready for college & career

• provide ample opportunity for students to productively struggle and work collaboratively on open-ended project-based tasks

• be grounded in evidence-based teaching practices such as student-driven (students being able to dig into the problem) and teacher facilitated (teachers using purposeful questions to guide learning).

• be centered around student voice via productive math discourse, student experience and their multiple ways of thinking and reasoning

• be detracked such that all courses build towards productive ends (no "dead-end" courses)
