Background Information
The district’s Mathematics Curriculum Committee has been charged with the selection of district-wide math curriculum materials and identifying and aligning curriculum and professional development support for the use of these materials.
The math curriculum approach can be viewed as balanced numeracy, a balance between knowledge and understanding; computation and algorithms; and conceptual application of the computation and algorithms. Math fluency is still recognized as being critical to math success, as is math comprehension.
