- To inform the Board of national initiatives that relate to its current proposals on early childhood mathematics education, algebra, and undergraduate education.
- To strengthen/focus MSEB’s proposals in early childhood education, algebra and undergraduate education.
- To advise the Center for Education on the design and focus of its Congressionally-mandated Teacher Education Study as it relates to mathematics.
- To frame the issues around student assessment and accountability systems and their influence on the teaching and leaning of mathematics and determine where MSEB might productively enter this territory.

- How does this study relate to the proposed MSEB study on undergraduate education?
- Is there a piece of the Center study that the Board can undertake? |

ED’s Secondary Mathematics Initiative
- How might ED shape this initiative so it increases the odds that it will meet its goals?
- How might the proposed study on algebra be framed so that in time it might contribute to the design of ED’s investments in mathematics?
- What might MSEB also do in the short term do inform this initiative? |
