Math Curriculum

A Vision of School Mathematics: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Imagine a classroom, a school, or a school district where all students have access to high-quality, engaging mathematics instruction.

Plymouth-Canton Community Schools supports the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics vision. Our curriculum is aligned to the Michigan Curriculum Framework standards and benchmarks, Grade Level Content Expectations, as well as the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics standards. Students will have many opportunities to be engaged in mathematics that reflects real world application.

Connected Mathematics is the official middle school math program in our school district. This program engages students in activities that help them become mathematically literate. Connected Mathematics is a researched-based program that helps students develop understanding of important concepts, skills, procedures and ways of thinking and reasoning in number, geometry, measurement, algebra, probability and statistics.
