Debate over modern mathematics education, textbooks and curricula in the U.S.
Math wars is the debate over modern mathematics education, textbooks and curricula in the United States that was triggered by the publication in 1989 of the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and subsequent development and widespread adoption of a new generation of mathematics curricula inspired by these standards.
While the discussion about math skills has persisted for many decades,[1] the term "math wars" was coined by commentators such as John A. Van de Walle[2] and David Klein.[3] The debate is over traditional mathematics and reform mathematics philosophy and curricula, which differ significantly in approach and content.
