EAST LONGMEADOW PUBLIC SCHOOLS Mathematics The Massachusetts Mathematics Curriculum Framework envisions all students in the Commonwealth achieving mathematical competence through a strong mathematics program that emphasizes problem solving, communicating, reasoning and proof, making connections, and using representations. Acquiring such competence depends in large part on a clear, comprehensive, coherent, and developmentally appropriate set of standards to guide curriculum expectations. |
