“My first day in an American school started with good news: all clocks were in Spanish! The bad news was devastating: I did not understand anything else. Years later, I realized that numbers and many other symbols were in a "language" that I could understand at that level, the academic language of mathematics”.

Dr. Miriam Leiva is Distinguished Professor of Mathematics Emerita at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, and author of several mathematics texts.

Three Mathematical Shifts

FocusWhat do we want students to know and be able to do?

FOCUSRather than racing to cover everything in today’s mile-wide, inch-deep curriculum, teachers use the power of the eraser and significantly narrow and deepen the way time and energy is spent in the math classroom.

Hong Kong/ U.S. Data• Hong Kong had the

highest scores in the most recent TIMSS.

• Hong Kong students were taught 45% of objectives tested.

• Hong Kong students outperformed US students on US content that they were not taught.
