Rural Math Collaborative

The Rural Math Collaborative has developed FREE asynchronous courses based on the 2023 California Mathematics Framework. 

The RMC Number Sense Module Overview provides an introduction to the layout of the entire Framework including the Drivers of Investigation, Content Connections and their connection to the Standards for Math Practice. The Overview then introduces aspects of the Framework’s interpretation of number sense, and the progression of number sense ideas through grades TK-8.

The Number Sense Module Parts 1-3 provide guidance to grades TK-8 educators taken from Chapter 3 of the 2023 Math Framework. This information is focused around three key areas of number sense within the grade spans.
