The district, which made the switch in 2014, released data showing an immediate improvement in math performance in ninth grade compared with eighth grade the year prior and in the number of students who subsequently enrolled in more advanced math courses as seniors. In recommending that all students take Algebra I in ninth grade, the authors of the first draft heralded the success of San Francisco Unified. This could discourage Black and Latino students from pursuing those majors, in which they are already underrepresented.Ĭalifornia’s new math framework offers path to greater excellence and equity They said it would needlessly force students who want to major in science, technology, engineering or math in college to double up with an extra math course to fit in calculus as a high school senior. Critics interpreted that position as a signal that the state was leveling down math instruction, delaying those ready for advanced math for the sake of misguided uniformity. That issue was a flashpoint in the initial draft. Others question some principles of the framework, including the elimination of grouping students based on ability, and point to the recommendation to refrain from offering algebra until ninth grade as a source of their skepticism. “The framework offers solutions to engage students more in math, to see context of math in their lives and where they belong in a world of numbers,” she said. That’s a tall order, but doable, said Rebecca Pariso, a teacher on assignment from Hueneme Elementary School District, north of Los Angeles, who served on the committee of educators that advised the first draft of the framework.

The new framework has a more student-centered goal – to build an understanding of math concepts and relationships across grades and subjects while developing students’ critical thinking and reasoning skills. The new math framework will replace one adopted in 2013, which served a specific purpose: to differentiate for teachers the newly adopted Common Core math standards from the previous state standards.

The framework provides voluntary guidelines to teachers and textbook publishers on how to teach the state’s academic standards.

“I hope the outcome (of the framework) will be to give schools and districts more latitude to develop math courses and sequences that excite students and help draw more of them into STEM fields or to sophisticated math, no matter what they choose to do in life,” said Pamela Burdman, executive director of Just Equations, a nonprofit that promotes policies that prepare students with quantitative skills to succeed in college.Ĭalifornia math curriculum spurs new controversy about accelerated learning The goals of making math more accessible and high achievement are an artificial dichotomy, he said. “We really see equity as the future for better math learning for all students in California,” said Brian Lindaman, co-faculty director of the Center for Science and Mathematics Instruction at Chico State, and the lead of five authors of the framework. The goal, they say, is to make math interesting and relevant to students who have found it inaccessible and impenetrable. The State Board is expected to adopt the final version in July.Īdvocates of the new guidance hope the changes will shift the focus away from criticism that the drafters sought to sacrifice rigor in the name of social justice. It took 10 months, with hundreds of line edits and more substantial rewriting based on public comments and recommendations by a commission advising the State Board of Education, to revise this one. With that controversy clarified, the addition of a couple of chapters and the deletion of politically charged references to racism behind past math policies and practices, the framework has now begun its third, and presumably final, 60-day review process. Personal contact information, such as emails, phone numbers, and addresses, will be redacted. All comments will be made available to the members of the State Board of Education. The public will have through May 16 to submit comments, preferably by email, to To provide a comment by physical mail, send to Instructional Quality Commission 1430 N Street, Room 3207 Sacramento, CA 95814.
