Amplify Desmos Math: MCPS new math curriculum
Amplify Desmos Math is a core math curriculum built with student-centered instruction in mind. Student-centered instruction gives students opportunities to figure out how math works. They learn to communicate verbally and in writing, understand and challenge others’ opinions, and build confidence in solving new problems. Each lesson offers opportunities to build on students’ understanding; connect their ideas;
develop their skill fluency; and empower them to ask questions, explore, and make discoveries.
Here’s what you can expect:
-
Interactive lessons that blend paper-based and digital learning.
-
Practice problems to support fluency and review previous topics.
-
Resources within each lesson to meet the needs of every student.
-
A variety of assessments to help teachers monitor your child’s progress.
-
A caregiver resource for each unit that includes explanations of key math
concepts and problems to try with your student.
Checkout the Caregiver Hub for grade specific information by unit. For every unit of the program, they’ve created a Caregiver Resource that provides a summary of key concepts, plus a problem from the lesson practice set you can work through with your student. You’ll find a Caregiver Resource for each unit, in both English and Spanish.
