The desired outcome for this adoption cycle is to provide up-to-date, research-based, relevant, and appropriate materials that will effectively support teaching and learning practices in our K-6 elementary and 7-12 secondary Mathematics classrooms and will offer all teachers and students greater access to relevant digital resources/tools. The following list of requirements, although extensive, is not exhaustive and is intended to provide interested parties with sufficient basic information to submit proposals meeting minimum requirements, but is not intended to limit a proposal’s content or exclude any relevant or essential information. Moreover, the Committee members will be expected to introduce their knowledge of the Provo School District’s learning communities’ needs and classroom requirements as they evaluate the curricular resources in relation to the selection criteria. Curricular/Design Requirement 1. Utah Core Standards for Elementary Mathematics Alignment a. Instructional materials in all formats, including print, digital, and online materials, are aligned to the Utah Core Standards for Mathematics b. Curriculum materials must have a clear and documented research base by an outside evaluator. 2. Elementary Mathematical Content and Emphasis a. Materials focus coherently on the "major works” of the grade in a way that is consistent with the progressions in the Standards.
