The CCR is very grateful in announcing the generous grant awarded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation under its College-Ready Education umbrella to fund work on 21st century mathematics curriculum in light of the need for 21st century skills.

The Standards, Curriculum, and Assessments emphasis of the Gates Foundation intends that “clear, consistent college- and career-ready standards establish what students at every grade level need to know in order to be prepared for success beyond high school.”
