The University of Maryland, College Park, in collaboration with several professional organizations and the Math is More group, is organizing a national conference focusing on the future of high school mathematics. The conference showcases and analyzes progressive ideas about curriculum, teaching, assessment, and technology in high school and early college mathematics. The plenary and workshop sessions of the 2.5-day conference address four central questions: What are the most important mathematical concepts, skills, and reasoning methods that students of different interests and aptitudes should master in the high school years so that they are well prepared for college, the world of work, and effective citizenship in the 21st century? What instructional practices hold greatest promise for effective teaching of mathematics to the diverse student population in U. S. high schools? What practices in assessment of student understanding and skills most effectively advance teaching and learning and provide an evidence base for important educational policy decisions? What practices in teacher professional development and school change hold greatest promise for meeting the challenge of implementing best practices in mathematics education curriculum, teaching, and assessment?The conference brings together leaders of state and local school system mathematics programs, mathematicians, curriculum developers, educational researchers, and education policy-makers for in-depth discussion of the challenges and opportunities for innovation in high school mathematics. Participation in this conference provides school system leaders with information and perspectives about future directions of high school mathematics that they can carry back to their state and local work on curriculum, teaching, and assessment. Participation by curriculum developers, teacher educators, and education policy-makers provides them with insights into their own work developing future mathematics programs, teachers, and policies. Participation by mathematics education researchers helps in framing an agenda of important evaluation and research projects required to inform and evaluate the various ideas for innovation. Expected media coverage of conference sessions provides visibility to the most prominent recent work aimed at improving the yield of high school mathematics education.

马里兰大学帕克分校与几个专业组织和Math is More小组合作，正在组织一次全国会议，重点关注高中数学的未来。会议展示并分析了高中和大学早期数学课程、教学、评估和技术方面的进步思想。为期2.5天的全体会议和研讨会讨论了四个核心问题：不同兴趣和能力的学生在高中阶段应该掌握哪些最重要的数学概念、技能和推理方法，以便为21世纪的大学、工作和有效的公民身份做好准备？什么教学实践最有希望在美国高中向不同的学生群体有效地教授数学？在评估学生的理解和技能方面，哪些做法最有效地促进了教与学，并为重要的教育决策提供了证据基础？教师专业发展和学校变革方面的哪些实践最有希望迎接在数学教育课程、教学和评估中实施最佳实践的挑战？这次会议汇集了州和地方学校系统数学项目的领导人、数学家、课程开发者、教育研究人员和教育政策制定者，深入讨论高中数学创新的挑战和机遇。参加这次会议为学校系统领导人提供了关于高中数学未来发展方向的信息和观点，他们可以将这些信息和观点带回他们所在的州和地方的课程、教学和评估工作。课程开发者、教师教育工作者和教育政策制定者的参与为他们提供了对自己制定未来数学课程、教师和政策的工作的见解。数学教育研究人员的参与有助于制定重要的评估和研究项目的议程，以告知和评估各种创新想法。预计媒体对会议的报道使人们能够看到最近旨在提高高中数学教育产量的最突出的工作。
