CHAPTER 1- PRINCIPLES OF TEACHING MATHEMATICS
LESSON 1- SIX PRINCIPLES FOR SCHOOL MATHEMATICS
1. Equity
Excellence in mathematics education requires equity-high expectations
and strong support for all students.
All students regardless their personal characteristics, background or physical
challenges, can learn mathematics when they have access to high-quality mathematics
instruction. Equity does not mean that every student should receive identical instruction.
Rather, it demands that reasonable and appropriate accommodations be made and
appropriately challenging content be included to promote access and attainment for all
students.

2. Curriculum
A curriculum is more than a collection of activities; it must be coherent,
focused on important mathematics, and well-articulated across the grades.
