Math Curriculum

Parents,
The teachers have all been hard at work aligning our Math curriculum to the 2010 Common Core Standards.  These standards have been adopted by the State Board and reflect the PA Academic Standards.  If you would like to review the Math Standards, click here to download them.  I found a great website that aligns fun math questions to each of these standards.  Please take the opportunity to check out the website.  It would be a great idea to have your child work on this website daily since each of the standards will be taught in class.  Have fun exploring!
