Part I: For the Teacher
This section provides teachers with a checklist of "Big
Ideas" (vital understandings) in mathematics. These
"Big Ideas" are meant to encompass the most
essential concepts and skills addressed in the standards and
benchmarks of the Michigan Curriculum Framework. These are
the "Big Ideas" that children cannot afford to be
without, if they are to be successful in mathematics. The
list is intended to be "teacher friendly" yet
designed to improve the intellectual quality of student
performance.
