Des Moines Public Schools Mathematics
The goal of the Des Moines Public Schools K-12 mathematics program is for all students to achieve mathematical proficiency by developing an understanding of math concepts and a fluency in skill procedures. Students who understand a concept can identify examples and non-examples; describe the idea with words, symbols, tables, graphs, and models; and apply the concept in problem-solving situations. Procedural proficiency includes recall of basic facts (addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division) and the use of algorithms – step-by-step mathematical procedures – to produce a solution.
The end result is the ability to think and reason mathematically and use mathematics to solve problems in authentic contexts.
The expectation of Des Moines Public Schools is that ALL students will demonstrate mastery of the rigorous Common Core Standards for Mathematics.
