The Principles and Standards for School Mathematics was developed by the NCTM. The NCTM's stated intent was to improve mathematics education. The contents were based on surveys of existing curriculum materials, curricula and policies from many countries, educational research publications, and government agencies such as the U.S. National Science Foundation.

Investigations was developed between 1990 and 1998. It was just one of a number of reform mathematics curricula initially funded by a National Science Foundation grant. The goals of the project raised opposition to the curriculum from critics (both parents and mathematics teachers) who objected to the emphasis on conceptual learning instead of instruction in more recognized specific methods ...
NCCAT's programs and seminars are designed to provide North Carolina teachers activities structured to develop renewed enthusiasm for teaching. The focus of NCCAT is year-round series of residential programs that incorporate the N. C. Standard Course of Study, which is the prescribed curriculum for public schools in North Carolina.
NCTM publishes three official journals. All are available in print and online versions. Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12.According the the NCTM, this journal "reflects the current practices of mathematics education, as well as maintaining a knowledge base of practice and policy in looking at the future of the field.
Open educational resources (OER) [1] are teaching, learning, and research materials intentionally created and licensed to be free for the end user to own, share, and in most cases, modify. [2] [3] The term "OER" describes publicly accessible materials and resources for any user to use, re-mix, improve, and redistribute under some licenses. [4]
How do North Carolina first-, second- and third-graders compare to their national counterparts? NC has spent over $100 million on the science of teaching reading. Is it paying off?
Connected Mathematics is a comprehensive mathematics program intended for U.S. students in grades 6–8.The curriculum design, text materials for students, and supporting resources for teachers were created and have been progressively refined by the Connected Mathematics Project (CMP) at Michigan State University with advice and contributions from many mathematics teachers, curriculum ...
Proponents of reform mathematics countered that research showed that correctly-applied reform math curricula taught students basic math skills at least as well as curricula used in traditional programs, and additionally that reform math curricula was a more effective tool for teaching students the underlying concepts.
