K-12 Math Initiatives
The vision of the Bedford City Schools K-12 Mathematics Program is to ensure that all students will become mathematically literate and articulate. Within our rigorous mathematics curriculum, all students have an equal opportunity to learn in a supportive environment as they develop their conceptual knowledge and further extend their understanding.
Through their studies, students will acquire an appreciation for the beauty and usefulness of mathematics and statistics. Students will see themselves as capable lifelong learners and doers of mathematics, possessing the quantitative skills needed to succeed in our digital age; prepared to solve problems they have never seen before or that may not even exist today.
Instructional Goals for K-12 Mathematics
The following program goals are for all students. They are applicable to various students at varying times and to different degrees, depending upon the class in which the student is enrolled. These goals are based on the Standards for Mathematical Practice in Ohio’s Learning Standards.
Eureka Math Grades K-8
We use the Eureka Math curriculum in grades K-8. It was built around the core principle that students need to know more than just what works when solving a problem—they need to understand why it works. The curriculum goes beyond facts and formulas, teaching students to think about math conceptually. This helps students become not merely literate, but fluent in mathematics.
