United STATES Coalition for World Class Math

                                       About Us

 

We are an ever-growing group of state coalitions comprised of mathematically literate parents, many of whom are scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and educators who want nothing but excellence in Mathematics Education for the students of our country the United States of America.  This is imperative so that our children will be able to compete in the global economy.

This can only be achieved by having "world class" math standards written and implemented whether it is national math standards, regional standards or state math standards. 

States such as California,  Indiana, and Massachusetts, have paved the way for World Class Math Standards. These States have modeled their standards after some of the highest performing countries on international math tests such as Singapore, Finland, Belgium, Hong Kong, Japan and others. 

Read our Mission Statement: Mission Statement  and information about the multi-state initiative currently underway, coordinated by the National Governors Association (NGA) Center for Best Practices and the Council of Chief Sate School Officers (CCSSO) called the "State Common Core Standards", a state-led process to develop voluntary "common core" K-12 English and mathematics standards.
