This page is designed to provide some resources that will help you understand the math curriculum in Waterbury and nationally and how mathematics instruction has evolved with the Common Core State Standards.

Helping Your Child Learn Mathematics 

Parent Roadmaps to the Common Core Standards

The Council of the Great City Schools parent roadmaps in English language arts and in mathematics provide guidance to parents about what their children will be learning and how they can support that learning in grades K-8. These parent roadmaps also provide  three-year snapshots showing how selected standards progress from year to year so that students will be college and career ready upon their graduation from high school.

National PTA Common Core State Standards Initiative

The Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI) is an effort designed to improve educational outcomes for students by developing a set of common, voluntary, internationally-benchmarked academic standards in mathematics and English language arts. For more details, check out the CCSSI overview. (This overview is also available in Spanish.)
