OUSD Math Framework

In Oakland Unified, we are grounded in our vision for mathematics: Through productive struggle, academic discourse, and performance tasks, OUSD students become problem solvers, collaborators, communicators, and owners of mathematics, to ensure college and career readiness.

Making this vision a reality requires us to operate from a shared understanding of high-quality mathematics instruction. The definition provided in this framework is centered around the belief that all students can and will achieve if they are provided rigorous and relevant math experiences every day. It is grounded in research and educator experiences about the essential components of a math program that schools must guarantee for all students.  It names critical equity practices that should be infused through all math instruction to ensure culturally sustaining, empowering experiences for all students, particularly our most marginalized communities.  To read more abou the framework, click here.

Eureka Math²

Eureka Math²™ is designed to ensure that students move beyond rote memorization to build enduring math knowledge through the intentional integration of digital resources and a focused approach to encouraging student discourse. Eureka Math² helps students establish a foundational understanding of mathematics (the why) rather than only relying on procedural skills (the how), to better prepare them for college and career. Teachers will see students strengthening reasoning and critical-thinking skills that students can apply to solve real-world problems and that can be applied to many real-world situations.
