Elementary Mathematics
Andover Public Schools is committed to creating equitable math learning experiences for all students through high quality instruction and curriculum. The PreK - 5 Mathematics Curriculum reflects and supports the Massachusetts State Curriculum Framework for Mathematics (2017) and the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.
Mathematics instruction is rooted in the belief that all students can learn mathematics when instruction prioritizes conceptual understanding, problem solving, sense-making and collaboration. Students form positive math identities that allow them to develop the deep understanding of complex concepts, skills and procedures needed to solve rigorous problems.

In 2022-2023, Andover Public Schools adopted Eureka Math2 as its Tier 1 curriculum. This high quality instructional material is aligned to both the state frameworks and the standards.
Eureka Math2 is designed to move students beyond rote memorization to an enduring understanding of mathematics. This learning is done through the use of consistent math models and rigorous problem solving to support productive struggle and coherence across lessons, modules and grade levels.
Students are engaged in math discourse in every lesson, at every level and will learn powerful ways to share their thinking and strategies with each other in whole class learning and discussions, with partners, and in small groups.
