Mathematics
-
The vision of mathematics education in District 15 is to prepare students to be critical thinkers, effective communicators, self-reliant, and resilient individuals who are equipped for continued success through a rich learning experience.
District 15 Math Curriculum
-
In 2022, District 15 fully adopted Illustrative Mathematics as our district curricular resources. Illustrative Math is a problem-based core curriculum designed to address content and practice standards to foster learning for all. Students learn by doing math, solving problems in mathematical and real-world contexts, and constructing arguments using precise language. Teachers can shift their instruction and facilitate student learning with high-leverage routines to guide learners to understand and make connections between concepts and procedures.
All students will:
-
Develop mathematical reasoning and problem-solving abilities
-
Deepen conceptual understanding, number sense and numeracy
-
Learn to work collaboratively
-
Engage in conversation and math talks
You can find a letter for each grade-level and unit to help support you in understanding the progression of learning your child will be engaging in along with questions and support at home.

Standards for Student Mathematical Practice
-
All K-8 students are expected to develop appropriate expertise in the Standards for Student Mathematical Practice. These practices are longstanding important processes and proficiencies in mathematics education.
Standards for Mathematical Content
-
Students use the Standards for Mathematical Content, which are designated by grade level, in conjunction with the Standards for Mathematical Practices.
Below are the CCSD 15 prioritized content standards for K-8 content topics covered at each grade level. These are the standards that are on the report card.
