Two major reports calling for substantial revision in K-12 mathematics teaching were issued during the 1988-89 school year. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics issued "Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics" and the Mathematical Sciences Education Board issued "Everybody Counts". These reports indicate a national critical need to (1) broaden the understanding of leaders of the mathematics education community in the United States of the underlying reasons for making changes in mathematics curricula, (2) develop state and national networks for the dissemination of information about the reforms proposed in the two reports, and (3) cultivate a more positive and conducive environment across the country for making changes in mathematics education. In order to increase the likelihood of implementing the reforms called for in these documents, the Association of State Supervisors of Mathematics will institute a reform program beginning with six regional conferences for 900 leaders in mathematics education strategically distributed across the country. These conferences will (1) address the content implications and recommendations contained within the two reports, (2) develop teams of regionally networked leaders to serve as change promoters within their states, (3) develop a set of project materials to include the major mathematics reform documents and speakers' kits to be distributed to each conference participant, and (4) organize a range of follow-up activities to ensure that these leaders become involved in the local dissemination and implementation of the recommendations. Cost sharing by the partners will total 100% of the National Science Foundation funding.

在一九八八至八九学年，当局发表了两份主要报告，呼吁对中小学数学教学作出重大修订。全国数学教师理事会颁布了《学校数学课程与评价标准》，数学科学教育委员会颁布了《人人算数》。这些报告表明，国家迫切需要（1）扩大美国数学教育界领导人对数学课程改革的根本原因的理解，（2）发展州和国家网络，传播有关两份报告中提出的改革的信息，（3）在全国范围内营造一个更加积极和有利的数学教育改革环境。为了增加实施这些文件中所要求的改革的可能性，国家数学监督员协会将制定一项改革计划，首先是为全国战略性分布的900名数学教育领导人举行六次区域会议。这些会议将（1）讨论两份报告中所载的内容影响和建议，（2）建立区域网络领导人小组，在其国家内充当变革促进者，（3）编制一套项目材料，包括主要的数学改革文件和演讲者资料袋，分发给每一位与会者，（4）组织一系列后续活动，确保这些领导人参与在当地传播和执行建议。由合作伙伴分担的费用将占国家科学基金会资金的100%。
