Based on Directions, the Ministry of Education is implementing Core Curriculum (with its accompanying CELs and other initiatives) as the basis of the educational program for the students of Saskatchewan. This necessitated a review of all subjects in all grades. In mathematics, the two major influences for the curriculum changes are the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) 1989 publication Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1997), and Charting the Course: A Guide for Revising the Mathematics Program in the Province of Saskatchewan, written by Dr. J. Hope of the University of Saskatchewan, and published by SIDRU, 1990.
