Developing mathematical content is no easy task. Here are six things every math course writer must know before diving into lesson and assessment development:
1) Know the Standards
Whether you’re using the Common Core State Standards or another set of standards for assessment, the standards are the framework for your content delivery. You need to ensure the level of rigor is appropriate for your audience. Let’s say you’re developing a lesson involving mean and median for a high-school-level course. Merely finding the mean and median is actually a sixth-grade standard. By high school, students need to use these descriptors to compare the center and spread of two data sets, so your lesson content should assess the skill at this level.
