implementation in 2010‚ the Common Core Standards for Mathematics has proven to be ineffective in how it is delivered to students. Though the United States is a relatively affluent country‚ we unfortunately do not rank high in education in comparison to other countries. This research will uncover how the mathematics standards of the Common Core system are failing students in the United States. The goal is to expose where the United States Common Core mathematics education is falling short and how it can be

Using Polynomials in the “Real World” Polynomial functions are used in our everyday lives in a few different ways‚ this includes art‚ architecture‚ construction‚ financial planning‚ and manufacturing. We can also calculate how long it will take one person to do a job alone when we know how long it takes a group to get it done as well. Farmers on crop farms work dawn to dusk through the growing season to produce the grains‚ fruits‚ and vegetables that feed the country. These equations help them
