The National Mathematics Advisory Panel (National Math Panel) was charged with reviewing the best available scientific evidence and making recommendations on improving mathematics education with a focus on readiness for and success in algebra and mathematics education in grades K–8.
The Panel's final report, Foundations for Success, was issued on March 13, 2008. The report contains 45 findings and recommendations on numerous topics, including curricular content, learning processes, instructional practices and materials, teachers, assessments, and future research priorities.
In response to a National Math Panel recommendation, the U.S. Department of Education, in partnership with the Conference Board of Mathematical Sciences, is hosting this Forum to bring together various organizations and other interested parties to discuss ways to use the findings as a platform to improve mathematics education in the United States.
IM&E is hosting this website as a service to CBMS and the Department of Education.
The Forum in October, planned to be the first in a series, will focus on four of the seven areas in which the National Math Panel makes recommendations:
