Curriculum

Academic standards-the knowledge, skills, and habits of mind students are expected to acquire in particular grade levels (or clusters of grade levels)-and the units of instruction, often with sample lesson plans, illustrative student activities, and essential and supplementary resources that can help students reach those standards. Is often designed at the state or school district level by a team of teachers, curriculum specialists, and other experts.

• Investigations in Number, Data and Space
  The K-5 "Investigations" curriculum offers in-depth experiences in number, data, geometry, and mathematics of change. The program's major goals are to offer students meaningful mathematical problems, emphasize thinking rather than superficial exposure to fragmented topics, to communicate both content and pedagogy to teachers, and to substantially expand the pool of mathematically literate students.
• Math Trailblazers
  Complete research-based K-5 mathematics program integrating math, science and language arts. Math Trailblazers is based on organized investigation of everyday situations; all students deserve a richer and more challenging curriculum.
• Bridges in Mathematics, Opening Eyes, and Math Alive!
  Bridges is an innovative and comprehensive standards-based program for grades K-2. Develop solid mathematical foundations through concept-oriented games and solving problems.
• Everyday Mathematics
  This enriched mathematics curriculum for grades K-6, developed by the University of Chicago School of Mathematics is designed to empower students and teachers to understand mathematical content beyond arithmetic. Explore mathematics by investigating data, probability, geometry, patterns and algebra.
