Mathematical Competencies Repository

Dear JEM interested parties,

thus far we have not found it so I am hereby launching the quest for a repository of mathematical competencies.

Once could say that national curriculum standards contain so but this is done a very informal way so we, in intergeo, are looking for something more repository like.

thanks in advance

Classification of mathematical competencies?

I do not quite understand what you want. There is a full description of PISA's interpretation of mathematical literacy, including competences, in Chapter 1 of the publication "PISA 2003 Assessment Framework - Mathematics, Reading, Science and Problem Solving Knowledge and Skills".

this remains fuzzy!

Olga,

I think this remains broad-literacies... this is far from being close to mathematical concepts, for example. Curriculum standards are a bit closer there, since they generally say with what a given competency should be exercised.

So either you accept this as is and remain very broad and not very discriminative, or you try to go for far more precision with mathematical topics which can be made close to topics.

the latter I am querying about.

Don Allen commented on competencies according to "Adding It Up: Helping Children Learn Mathematics" - I guess that is also a good starting point.

Pisa Report is more detailed

Paul,
The picture is a summary. Have you looked at the chapter I have linked?
