Mathematics Framework Landing Page
The intent of this framework is to provide useful resources to schools as they strive to implement the shared goal/vision of mathematics teaching and learning in Michigan.
The framework emphasizes the importance of:
- using continuous school improvement to align all district initiatives for the purpose of increasing student achievement;
- building a curriculum based on rigorous content standards and benchmarks;
- using student achievement data to make decisions about continuous school improvement, curriculum, instruction, and professional development; and,
- incorporating research-supported teaching and learning standards into daily instructional practice.
One purpose of the framework is to be used as a process for the decision-making that guides continuous school improvement to ultimately improve student achievement by aligning math curricular standards, high-quality classroom instruction, and high-quality assessment practices.
The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) Office of Curriculum and Instruction (OCI) has identified the Instructional Coherence Model as the foundation for OCI programming and initiatives.
Focusing on Students First, the goal of the Instructional Coherence Model is to ensure students experience a seamless learning experience throughout their school day, across grade levels, and in all content areas. For more general information about the Instructional Coherence Model, please visit the Instructional Coherence webpage.
MDE is strengthening mathematics teaching and learning through instructional coherence. By aligning this goal with curriculum, instruction, assessment and coordinated systems, through a lens of access and equity, this work supports consistent, high-quality mathematics experiences for every learner and helps ensure that all students have access to rigorous, relevant, and engaging instruction.
