520 1 |a "This volume contains the complete proceedings of the First International Curriculum Conference sponsored by the Center for the Study of Mathematics Curriculum (CSMC), held November 8-10, 2005 on the campus of the University of Chicago." "The conference focused on the creation and implementation of the mathematics curriculum framework in four countries that are often identified as places to which to turn because of their performance on international tests and/or their economic performance and potential China, Japan, Korea and Singapore. These countries have centralized education ministries that create a single mathematics curriculum framework followed by most, if not all, student in the entire country."--BOOK JACKET.
