Math

Littleton Public Schools adopted the Colorado Academic Standards in Mathematics in August 2010.  We use those standards as our curriculum and the Board adopts materials that are then used as a primary resource in classrooms to address the standards.  In May 2014, we adopted new materials for use in teaching mathematics in secondary level mathematics (middle and high school content).  In April 2015, we adopted Bridges with Number Corner to be used as our math resource in Kindergarten through Fifth Grade.  Please select the appropriate link below to learn more about mathematics materials for the grade level you are interested in.

If you have questions about the mathematics curriculum (Colorado Academic Standards) and/or materials, please do not hesitate to email Ann Summers, Math and Intervention Specialist or call at (303)347-3538.

Elementary Mathematics

Littleton Public Schools elementary schools are now using Bridges with Number Corner. This resource was adopted by the Board of Education on April 23, 2015.  All teachers and specialists have participated in comprehensive professional development on the new resource.
 
This implementation is the natural next step in our implementation of the Colorado Academic Standards in Mathematics which began with kindergarten and first grade in 2011. Bridges with Number Corner provide robust instruction in the Colorado Academic Standards in Mathematics and have been developed to ensure the focus, coherence, and rigor called for in the standards. Students will develop conceptual understanding and procedural fluency which will be used when students are applying their mathematics knowledge in order to solve mathematical problems.
 
This resource is published by the Math Learning Center and parents are encouraged to access the resources available on their website. Please watch for the family letter that will be sent home with your child at the beginning of each unit.
 
Homework is designed to coordinate with the classroom learning and will be sent home in the form of Home Connections.
