How will Everyday Math support the goal of student mastery of basic facts and standard algorithms?
Everyday Math uses non-standard algorithms and student-invented algorithms to boost conceptual understanding of mathematical number sense, place value, and properties, but does not dismiss the value or importance of standard, paper-and-pencil algorithms. The third edition of EDM met the conditions set forth by the California State Board of Education by adequately addressing the state standards for mathematics. Palo Alto teachers and curriculum specialists will collaborate to ensure that the EDM materials are used to promote a balance between conceptual understanding, computational efficiency, calculation strategies (including the standard algorithms), and basic facts mastery. These are important Palo Alto mathematics standards and will be monitored by regular assessment tools. Reporting on the progress towards mastery in basic facts and computation at the different grade levels will continue to be provided regularly to parents using our Progress Report Forms.
