👉 Interstate math, also known as the Common Core State Standards for Intermediate-Level Mathematics, is a set of standards designed to ensure consistency in mathematics education across the United States. These standards aim to develop students' understanding of mathematical concepts and their ability to apply these concepts in various contexts, emphasizing problem-solving, critical thinking, and real-world applications. At the state level, each state adapts these national standards to fit their specific educational needs and contexts. The interstate math framework focuses on six core mathematical practices: modeling with mathematics, developing abstract thinking, reasoning and proof, connecting ideas across disciplines, applying mathematical concepts, and seeking solutions. These practices guide students in not just solving math problems but also in understanding the underlying mathematical principles and using math to make informed decisions in everyday life.
