K-8 Mathematics Curriculum (i-Ready)

The District initiated the new curriculum search after learning that the previous K-6 math program Go Math was going to be discontinued. The School Board approved the adoption of i-Ready Classroom Mathematics during the April 7, 2020 board meeting.  The District completed its pilot program and teacher training in spring 2021.

The i-Ready Classroom Mathematics curriculum provides student-centered lessons designed to enrich students’ understanding of mathematical concepts.  The in-school curriculum can be supplemented with digital math tutorials in the i-Ready platform (accessed via Clever) that are tailored to each student’s individual needs.

Students have the time and flexibility to learn strategies that work for them, there isn’t one definitive way to do math. Students learn through real-life applications that include critical thinking and problem solving.

The i-Ready Diagnostic assesses student learning needs and provides reports for teachers to determine how to meet those needs.  Personalized Lessons are provided for students based on the result of the i-Ready Diagnostic assessment.  The i-Ready Diagnostic also provides a starting point to measure how much students grow during the year.

Students will have access to a worktext in class.  This worktext includes the in-class materials, additional practice problems, family letters, and a math glossary.  They will also have access to a digital version of the worktext on their i-Ready Digital Bookshelf (available through Clever).
