8. 3rd- 5th Grade Math Curriculum
In most mathematics classrooms, instruction is shifting from traditional skills-based learning to a process of constructing understanding and meaning of mathematics as a language to understand the world and solve real-world problems. The shift involves less emphasis on memorization and greater emphasis on conceptual understanding, reasoning, and problem solving.
Schools use numerous math programs, instructional approaches, and curricular addenda that may have parents questioning the quality of their child's math education, and may leave them exclaiming, "I don't understand my child's math homework!" Fear not! The following information will provide you with a greater understanding of some of today's most popular mathematics programs. It may not be able to help you with your child's homework, but it will provide you with insight into how today's mathematics is preparing your child for tomorrow's opportunities.

9. Mathematics Florida Standards
What is my Child learning this year?
The Mathematics Florida Standards (MAFS) were approved by the Florida State Board of Education on February 18, The finalized MAFS were fully implemented across the grades in the school year. The Mathematics Florida Standards (MAFS) are organized into two sets: the Standards for Mathematical Content, and the Standards for Mathematical Practice.
What are the Mathematics Florida Standards exactly?
Well, the new standards are designed to be relevant, reflecting the knowledge and skills that students need to succeed in college and careers. In education, we begin with a grade-level understanding of the skills and expand upon it as we move up in grade level and age.
In mathematics, the Florida Standards are built on progressions. A basic mathematical concept introduced in kindergarten may be taught on a six year-old level, only to grow deeper and wider as the child progresses through the grades. This is good because students have the opportunity to deeply learn math concepts through exposure, experience and building on prior knowledge. Each grade level teacher is expected to fully develop concepts which will build upon skills the student will use in the next grade level.
Take a look at what to expect in Mathematics:
Rather than covering topics in a “mile-wide and inch-deep” curriculum, the new standards are narrow and deep to build a strong foundation of math skills and concepts
Increased rigor, increased attention to being precise, and emphasis on persistence in completing math problems
Students will be asked to explain their thinking in solving math problems.
