Learning Standards

Washington State’s K-12 Mathematics Learning Standards have been revised by dozens of educators and mathematicians from across the state and the nation. The standards describe what students should know and be able to do at each grade level.

Assessments

The Washington State Assessments are designed to help schools, districts, parents, and students determine the level of proficiency of a student’s understanding of the mathematics learning standards.

Elementary K-5

The text used to support math instruction in grades K-5 is Math Connects, published by Macmillan/McGraw-Hill Education Companies. Macmillan/McGraw-Hill Math Connects provides students with accurate, effective, and research-based content that integrates reading and writing skills.

Middle School 6-8

The text used to support math instruction in grades 6-8 is Math Connects, published by Glencoe McGraw-Hill. Math Connects: Concepts, Skills, and Problem Solving was written by the authorship team with the end results in mind. They looked at the content needed to be successful in Geometry and Algebra and backmapped the development of mathematical content, concepts, and procedures to PreK to ensure a solid foundation and seamless transition from grade level to grade level.

High School 9-12

During the 2009-2010 school year, Central Valley School District will consider updating the district's current High School mathematics curricula based on new mathematics standards recently adopted by Washington State. For more information, please visit the Mathematics Curriculum Update Website.
