15. What we will share with you today is information about our new mathematics textbook series, Go Math!
New math resource (textbook series) for the NASD Curriculum
Inquiry-based approach to teaching mathematics
Big Ideas is the adopted resource for students in 6th grade through Algebra II. For students grade accelerated in 5th, this is the course they will take for mathematics.

16. New Mathematics Curriculum
We have updated the curriculum in grades K-8.
Instruction will focus on inquiry-based methodology.
Problem solving will be emphasized in all units.
All Pennsylvania Core Standards for Mathematics will be addressed.
GO MATH! will be our new textbook series.
Each student will receive “mini-books” for all units. Students can write in their consumable books.
There are new online resources that can be used at home for additional practice and reinforcement.
(When presenting this slide, summarize the content in the bullets for your audience).
1st year of implementation
New language to refer to math courses. In the past, math courses at the elementary level were called A1 and A2. In order to align with middle school, language has been changed to M4 and M3.
Decisions for math placements in these courses is the same as it was – it is data driven and can change from year to year (A student in M3 this year can be a student in M4 next year)
No student is at a disadvantage if in an M3 course. It’s the same curriculum, same resources, and the same content. Teachers are teaching to the curriculum with fidelity and following the same pacing guide throughout the district
