K-8 Math Materials Adoption
4K-12 Math Instructional Vision
This new, comprehensive vision will guide mathematics programming for this academic year and beyond, serving as the foundational framework for decision-making, resource allocation, and expected outcomes across all mathematics priorities.
In MMSD, we provide a coherent 4K–12 mathematics experience that fosters a positive math identity in every student. We are committed to ensuring equitable access and success with rigorous, standards-based instruction that develops competent, confident, and curious math learners.
Important Dates
- 1/16/25-6/26/25: 4K-12 MMSD Math Task Force Meetings
- 12/16/25-1/22/26: K-8 Math Evaluation & Selection Team Meetings
Shared Learning through Catalyzing Change
During the 24-25 school year, members of the Task Force took part in a variety of activities designed to address the goals of the Task Force. We framed our work around the recommendations in Catalyzing Change from the National Council of Teacher of Mathematics (NCTM).
Recommendation #1:
Broaden the purpose of mathematics education to cultivate deep understanding, identify, joy, and real-world relevance
- Prioritize deep, conceptual understanding over memorization or procedural speed.
- Mathematics will be embedded in meaningful, relevant contexts that reflect students’ lives and communities.
- We are dedicated to creating classroom experiences that celebrate discovery, creativity, and curiosity.
Recommendation #2:
Create equitable mathematics structures that ensure access, challenge, and opportunity for all students
- We are committed to providing a unified district-wide vision for mathematics from elementary school through graduation, ensuring all students experience continuity and rigor.
- Ensure all students access grade-level content
Recommendation #3:
Implement equitable math practices to build positive identity, agency, and deep engagement
- We will intentionally design math environments where a positive mathematical identity is built through supportive structures and high expectations for every learner.
- Deep learning will be the foundation of our instruction, focusing on the “why” and “how” of mathematics before memorizing procedures.
- Daily instruction will be structured by the Standards of Mathematical Practice, using them as tools to affirm identity and develop student ownership of the learning.
K-8 Math Curriculum Review 25-26SY
To ensure diverse representation across all grade levels and roles, we expanded the Task Force by inviting additional members recommended by administrators.
