We believe the goals for New Hampshire schools are closely aligned with those espoused by various national commissions and groups in their efforts to reshape the mathematics curriculum. We commit to five primary goals. That:

• all students will develop a firm grounding in essential computational skills;
• all students will develop strong mathematical problem solving and reasoning abilities;
• all students will develop positive attitudes about mathematics;
• all students will develop the ability to use appropriate technology to solve mathematical problems; and
• all students will develop the ability to communicate their understanding of mathematics effectively.
