Abstract
The mathematics education community is engaged in a level of refonn activity of remarkable breadth and intensity. This most recent context of educational refom1 was established in the early 1980s, in part through reports such as A Nation at Risk (National Commission on Excellence in Education. 1983). The content-based counterparts of these documents include the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 1989a), Everybody Coums (National Research Council, 1989), Project 2061: Science for All Americans (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 1989), and the forthcoming Professional Standards for Teaching Mathematics (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 1989b).
