Parents, we are excited about our new math curriculum for our K-5 students that will roll out next year. It is called Illustrative Mathematics and is a problem-based curriculum aligned with the curriculum that is already in place at our middle and high schools. Check out our PUSD Parent and Student Canvas Resource Site! You will find helpful resources to learn more about what a problem-based curriculum is, supporting materials, and videos!
