What this document actually says
The Reed Union School District is recommending adoption of Amplify Desmos Math as the new PreK/TK-5th grade math curriculum. After extensive research reviewing 10 programs, six curriculum presentations, and two pilot programs at Reed and Bel Aire schools, 17 staff members unanimously recommend this curriculum. The program focuses on six key areas: rigor, differentiation, assessment, technology, engagement, and spiral review. The total cost is $127,833 for a 3-year contract, funded through the Instructional Block Grant. The package includes teacher editions, student workbooks, digital learning accounts (mCLASS and BOOST), center kits, and 15 hours of staff training. Implementation will begin with teacher exploration in Spring 2025.
What this means for your family
Your child will learn math using a new curriculum designed to build curiosity and problem-solving skills. The program uses hands-on activities, games, and technology to make math more engaging and help students see how math connects to the real world. Teachers will receive training and ongoing support to implement the program effectively. All materials and digital resources are included in the cost.
