Common Core Standards
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Initiative is the foundation for Common Core Georgia Performance Standards (CCGPS). The CCSS are educational standards in mathematics and language arts that set learning goals in K -12 to ensure that students have the knowledge and skills to be successful both in the academic world and beyond. In addition to the educational standards for mathematics, we will also spend time on the Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMPs). The eight SMPs are positive habits of mind that mathematicians use in their work. These practices are not explicitly taught but rather used to help students become successful problem solvers. The following list of resources can help you to better understand our curriculum and how to support your child in math.
