Elementary Math Practices

Math curriculum is aligned with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study K-5 Mathematics.  The DCS curriculum gives all students opportunities to explore, investigate and apply real-life problems within a personalized learning environment. In K-5, students develop an understanding of algebraic thinking, operations in base ten, converting measurement, and finding the area, perimeter, and volume of geometric shapes. Our goal is to foster a deep understanding of concepts while also building excitement about math.

In K-2, our primary resource is Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's (HMH) Into Math, which earned the top ratings in independent reviews by EdReports, the “gold standard” for K-12 curricular resources. In 3-5, we use resources from the NC Department of Public Instruction (DPI) and HMH Mathematics to ensure close alignment with the End-of-Grade assessments. We also use a formative assessment tool K-5 to help monitor student growth and address students’ individual needs. These assessment tools include: Schoolnet, DIBELS mClass, and Edmentum.
