The Lincoln County School District Math Adoption Committee, which consists of middle school and high school math teachers, specialists, and administrators from Toledo, Waldport, Lincoln City, and Newport has recommended a 6-year adoption of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt’s Go Math for grades 7-8th and Integrated Math 1, 2, and 3 for high school. This decision was made after researching recommended math instructional models, committee professional development around equity in mathematics instruction, and reviewing five different sets of instructional materials.

All recommended sets of materials have hard copy accessibility and online platforms that provide additional resources and support to enhance the learning environment and support English Language Learners. “I am happy with this text because there are multiple tools provided to make sure our students are hitting the standards. The web portion allows us to track student progress more in-depth, and provides tools for the students to be able to study or reteach outside the classroom,” said Damian Huff, an advanced math teacher at Taft 7-12. The materials are also aligned with Oregon’s 2+1 math vision that allows students to experience career-related math concepts. This model has students complete Integrated 1 and 2 before moving on a traditional route to Integrated 3 or branching off to courses such as probability and statistics, construction math, or computer science-related offerings. Secondary teachers at all schools will explore additional standards-based third and fourth-year math courses in the 2020-2021 school year in line with Oregon’s vision for expanding offerings in mathematics education.

“The need for aligned math materials, instruction, and assessment is clear in LCSD. Through this adoption, we will be able to provide students and teachers with the tools they need to be successful mathematicians and develop the skills needed for college or their chosen career pathway,” said Majalise Tolan, Secondary Teaching and Learning Administrator.

Upon final approval and adoption of the materials, math instructors will begin preparation for implementation in the 2020-2021 school year by analyzing standards, developing course scope and sequences and unit plans, and will participate in ongoing professional development specific to the mathematical practices. “I can’t wait for all of the math teachers in this district to work together to create a comprehensive, cohesive, and strong math program for our wonderful students,” said Chloe Minch, a math teacher at Newport Middle School.

Elementary teachers will begin the K-6 math adoption process in Spring of 2020 and continue throughout the 2020-2021 school year for 2021-2022 implementation.

Materials are currently available at the Lincoln County Teaching and Learning Center located at 1212 NE Fogarty in Newport for community review and feedback until March 9th, 2020. Contact Majalise Tolan for more information at 541-265-4410 or by email at majalise.tolan@lincoln.k12.or.us.

Nuevos materiales didácticos matemáticos propuestos disponibles para revisión y comentario público Centro de enseñanza y aprendizaje 1212 NE Fogarty Street, Newport Newport, O –28 de febrero de 2020 – El Comité de Adopción de Matemáticas del Distrito Escolar del Condado de Lincoln, que consta de maestros, especialistas y administradores de matemáticas de secundaria y preparatoria de Toledo, Waldport, Lincoln City y Newport ha recomendado una adopción de 6 años Go Math de Houghton Mifflin Harcourt para los grados 7-8 y Matemáticas Integradas 1, 2 y 3 para la escuela secundaria. Esta decisión se tomó después de investigar los modelos de instrucción matemática recomendados, el desarrollo profesional del comité en torno a la equidad en la instrucción de matemáticas y la revisión de cinco conjuntos diferentes de materiales de instrucción.  

Todos los conjuntos de materiales recomendados tienen accesibilidad impresa y plataformas en línea que proporcionan recursos y apoyo adicionales para mejorar el entorno de aprendizaje y apoyar a los estudiantes del idioma inglés. “Estoy contento con este texto porque se proporcionan varias herramientas para asegurarnos de que nuestros estudiantes estén cumpliendo con los estándares. La parte web nos permite seguir el progreso de los estudiantes más en profundidad y proporciona herramientas para que los estudiantes puedan estudiar o volver a enseñar fuera del aula “, dijo Damian Huff, un maestro avanzado de matemáticas en Taft 7-12. Los materiales también están alineados con la visión matemática 2 + 1 de Oregon que permite a los estudiantes experimentar conceptos matemáticos relacionados con la carrera. Este modelo hace que los estudiantes completen Integrated 1 y 2 antes de pasar a una ruta tradicional a Integrated 3 o ramificarse a cursos como probabilidad y estadísticas, matemática de construcción u ofertas relacionadas con la informática.

Los maestros de secundaria en todas las escuelas explorarán cursos adicionales de matemáticas de tercer y cuarto año basados ​​en estándares en el año escolar 2020-2021 en línea con la visión de Oregon de expandir las ofertas en educación matemática.
