Mathematics

Curriculum

We are teaching the Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Go Math curriculum with a math workshop framework, coached by the Public Education and Business Coalition (PEBC).

For resources regarding the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in Math, please visit the Cupertino Union School District Instructional Services Parent LiveBinder. The purpose of this binder is to communicate with you about current information and resources that will support your understanding of the transition to the CCSS in Mathematics. The district will continually update important information that we receive at both the state and district level to keep you informed. Additionally, they have included resources that will help you better understand the changes in mathematics instruction and state accountability assessments. There are also suggestions for how to support your student(s) at home as well as videos to exemplify what some of these new elements will look like in the classroom.
