The mathematics curriculum in Washington County is designed to accomplish five broad goals derived from the Maryland State Department of Education Curricular Framework for Mathematics.
Students study math in school every day.
Parents can help children learn more and do better by encouraging them to work hard and to take advantage of all the assistance that is offered. Homework is a key element of instruction. To achieve these goals, Washington County developed a curriculum in mathematics based on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Curriculum and Evaluation Standards. All students must be actively involved in the learning process. All students need to appreciate the vital role of mathematics in society and for their own futures.
