Abstract
Although NCTM's Standards documents have been around for more than a decade, teachers still frequently encounter resistance when attempting to implement reformoriented instruction and curriculum materials that are aligned with the Standards. Unfortunately, some of the strongest critics of reform are parents. Most have never experienced the type of mathematics instruction that the Standards recommend. The open-ended, conceptually oriented tasks that students bring home are different from their previous experiences and may be confusing. Parents' own anxiety toward and traditional beliefs about mathematics can further heighten their concern about the mathematics their children are now doing.
