MATH PROBLEMS Why the U.S. Department of Education's recommended math programs don't add up
By David Klein
What constitutes a good K-12 mathematics program? Opinions differ. In October 1999, the U.S. Department of Education released a report designating 10 math programs as "exemplary" or "promising." The following month, I sent an open letter to Education Secretary Richard W. Riley urging him to withdraw the department's recommendations. The letter was coauthored by Richard Askey of the University of Wisconsin at Madison, R. James Milgram of Stanford University, and Hung-Hsi Wu of the University of California at Berkeley, along with more than 200 other cosigners. With financial backing from the Packard Humanities Institute, we published the letter as a full-page ad in the Washington Post on Nov. 18, 1999, with as many of the endorsers' names and affiliations as would fit on the page. Among them are many of the nation's most accomplished scientists and mathematicians. Department heads at more than a dozen universities--including Caltech, Stanford, and Yale--along with two former presidents of the Mathematical Association of America also added their names in support. With new endorsements since publication, there are now seven Nobel laureates and winners of the Fields Medal, the highest award in mathematics. The open letter was covered by several newspapers and journals, including American School Board Journal (February, page 16).
Although a clear majority of cosigners are mathematicians and scientists, it is sometimes overlooked that experienced education administrators at the state and national level, as well as educational psychologists and education researchers, also endorsed the letter.
