The article discusses the need for improved math instruction in schools. While there has been a growing consensus on the importance of aligning reading instruction with scientific research, the conversation around math instruction lacks the same clarity and urgency. The article emphasizes the importance of three key components in math instruction: coherence, deep conceptual understanding, and the application of math in real-world contexts. It also highlights the need for teachers to have a solid understanding of math content across grade levels and the importance of fostering both conceptual understanding and procedural skills. The article concludes by calling for policymakers, school leaders, and educators to come together to provide high-quality math instruction to all students. [Extracted from the article]
