Whether you are a parent or a politician, whether you work in business, industry, government or academia, the state of U.S. mathematics education is of fundamental importance to you and those you care about. As the importance of mathematical and quantitative thinking increases, we must become more focused as a nation on providing our children a better mathematical education. This is not simply about economic competitiveness or getting higher scores on international comparisons. Rather it is about equipping our children with the necessary tools to be effective citizens and skilled members of the workforce in the twenty-first century. Mathematics as a discipline and the applications of mathematics to the world around us have grown and changed significantly in the past 50 years. Our system of mathematics education must reflect that growth and change. Quite simply, math is more.
