Learning Outcome 1.1: Summarize the factors that influence the teaching of mathematics
[Q1]
Many factors influence how mathematics is taught in a school system and which mathematics is
covered. What are some of the most influential factors?
1. Research on how students learn mathematics [correct]
ES
2. The size and wealth of the school system
3. The students’ geographic location
4. Teacher’s opinions of students
[Feedback for Correct Answer 1]
SI
Research in mathematics education on how students learn informs how mathematics should be
taught. Mathematics instruction is evolving and transforming through expert knowledge about
how students learn and how to design effective mathematics instruction

Geographic locations should not influence how mathematics is taught in that school.
[Feedback for Answer Choice 4]
G
Teacher’s opinions of students should not inform how mathematics is taught in the classroom.
Teachers should be using data and assessments to inform how their students are taught.
[Q2]
R
Which of the following would be a strengths-based approach comment to a student?
1. The problems we are doing today are easy.
AD
2. You picked up that concept really quickly. [correct]
3. I think you need more practice with adding.
4. You can try harder next time with the task.

1. Developing a love of math in students.
2. STEM jobs take twice as long to fill as other jobs.
3. U.S. student performance in national and international studies. [correct]
4. Preparing students for jobs that do not currently exist.

While we want students to be successful in mathematics and pursue S TEM careers, especially
as there is a need for STEM majors, it is not a major influence in mathematics education.
[Feedback for Correct Answer 3]
G
One factor in mathematics education is the public or political pressure for change in
mathematics education due largely to information about student performance in national and
international studies. These large-scale comparisons of student performance continue to make
headlines, provoke public opinion, and pressure legislatures to call for tougher standards
R
backed by testing.
[Feedback for Answer Choice 4]
We are preparing students for a global society and the jobs they take may not even exist yet,
AD
but this is not a driving force in changing mathematics education.
