Mathematics
Our district has adopted the Math program entitled Investigations . It is a K-5 Mathematics curriculum designed to engage students in making sense of mathematical ideas. It is aligned to the Common Core Standards. Each curriculum unit focuses on an area of content in depth, providing time for students to develop and practice ideas across a variety of activities and contexts that build on each other.
