2017-2018 Math Curriculum Grades 3-6
Common Unit Assessments:
All unit assessments are common assessments and must be entered in Aware. Requests for any edits to the assessments will be taken up to 3 weeks prior to the approximate testing date. This allows campuses to copy and administer the assessment in a timely and efficient manner. Be sure to DOWNLOAD and open assessments as a PDF in order to keep formatting in place. CALENDARS
Curriculum Revisions:
In May/June, some edits were made to the 4th and 5th grade curriculum and assessments.
All grade level should be accessing the curriculum and unit assessments LIVE online. Any suggestions or revisions needed in the current curriculum or assessments need to be submitted through the curriculum HELP DESK feedback loop with your campus math specialist.
