influenced by outside factors we can rely on some basic rules and concepts to help navigate the solution. Non-proof based mathematics lacks the deductive reasoning that proof-based mathematics offers. It is much like observation-based mathematics – the answer may be right but there exists no understanding of how or why. The ancient Egyptians used a non-proof based system of mathematics and often did not get their math correct. For instance‚ they used an incorrect formula to find the area of a quadrilateral

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
