The California Department Education's Common Core Team has received several requests from parents who want to know more about the instruction their child is receiving in mathematics. To address this need, the Common Core Team has made available the Mathematics Resources for Parents and Guardians Web page (PDF). Parents are first advised to work with their child's teachers as they are the most familiar with the mathematics program being used at Excelsior. The link below will provide you with information about the transition to newer methods of mathematics instruction and resources that explain the Common Core State Standards for mathematics and provide suggestions for parents and guardians for supporting their child's academic success
