The importance of mathematical literacy for all students, both in everyday life and in the workplace, has never been greater. Realizing the vision of high-quality mathematics education for all students, as described in NCTM's Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, requires the active participation of everyone in the education community, including administrators. This booklet describes what administrators need to know about mathematics education and what they can do to support and improve mathematics education in their schools.

Focus in Grades 3-5 is the first book in a series that will show teachers how they can incorporate NCTM's Curriculum Focal Points for PreK-8 into their current mathematics curricula. The book provides practical ideas, sample student work, and a sample state math curricula organized around the focal points. By focusing more intensely on fewer topics at each grade level, students gain a deeper understanding of mathematical ideas. This volume will help teachers think about what a focused curriculum means and how they might begin to build focus into their existing curricula.
