Abstract
Principles and Standards for School Mathematics emphasizes the importance of students being able to recognize and apply mathematics in other subject areas and disciplines as well as to daily life. Fostering development in the integrated fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, or STEM, “is a priority, not only because we need today’s students to become tomorrow’s leaders in innovation and help our economy, but also because we need to increase STEM interest and skills overall for everybody” (eSchool News 2009). As a key component of their STEM experiences, students must “develop a depth of understanding and ability to apply mathematics to novel situations, as college students and employees regularly do” (Common Core State Standards 2010).
