Barry Garelick offers snippets of response from the Everday Math program view of the National Math Panel report. The tenor of comments indicate strong dissatisfaction with PK12 math instruction in general. I offer this link for mobile PC independent software developers as an indication of the "noise" that surrounds public school math instruction. A robust, dynamic open market exists for effective mobile mathematics software!

Everyday Mathematics is a comprehensive pre-kindergarten through 6th grade mathematics curriculum developed by the University of Chicago School Mathematics Project, and published by Wright GroupMcGraw-Hill.

Over 175,000 classrooms and 2.8 million students are currently using EM, and it is being adopted by a steadily increasing number of schools each year.

On March 13, 2008, the National Mathematics Advisory Panel presented its Final Report to the President of the United States and the Secretary of Education. Copies of these reports are available in PDF, Webcast Briefing, and Webcast PowerPoint Presentation.

Responses to Garelick's posting challenge teachers' instructional judgment more than the EM program.
