“In mathematics, the alignment of curriculum, instruction, and assessment is needed if our students are going to experience success. The essential mathematics that should be taught in every classroom throughout Maryland can be found in the VSC. Teaching the curriculum in a way that helps students make sense of what they are learning helps them to view mathematics as a useful subject as opposed to a set of rules to memorize. Finally, formative and summative assessments should reflect the instruction while spanning the various levels of cognitive demand in mathematics.” -Donna Watts
