Math

Einstein School has adopted the AERO Curriculum Framework for Mathematics that builds on the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.

These standards are (1) research‐ and evidence‐based, (2) aligned with college and work expectations, (3) rigorous, and (4) internationally benchmarked.

The development of these standards began with research‐ based learning progressions detailing what is known today about how students’ mathematical knowledge, skills, and understanding develop over time. Standards are intended to be a living work: as new and better evidence emerges, the standards will be revised accordingly.

Guiding Principles for Mathematics:

• Guiding Principle 1: Learning Mathematical ideas should be explored in ways that stimulatecuriosity, create enjoyment of mathematics, and develop depth of understanding.

• Guiding Principle 2: Teaching An effective mathematics program is based on a carefully designed set of content standards that are clear and specific, focused, and articulated over time as a coherent sequence.

• Guiding Principle 3: Technology Technology is an essential tool that should be used strategically in mathematics education.

• Guiding Principle 4: Equity All students should have a high quality mathematics program that prepares them for college and career.

• Guiding Principle 5: Assessment Assessment of student learning in mathematics should take many forms to inform instruction and learning
