Abstract
This paper attempts to engage the field in a discussion about what mathematics
is needed for students to engage in society, especially with an increase in
technology and digitalization. In this respect, mathematics holds a special place in
STEM as machines do most of the calculations that students are taught in K-12. We
raise questions about what mathematical proficiency means in today’s world and what
shifts need to be made in both content and pedagogy to prepare students for 21st
Century Skills and mathematical reasoning.
