TK-5 Mathematics

Fountain Valley School District engages students in high-quality, research-based mathematics instruction across the elementary grade levels (TK-5). Excellent classroom instruction leveraging the California Common Core Standards for Mathematics, CGI Instructional Strategies, and Math Expressions curriculum provides the resources for a dynamic math program that helps build a solid foundation of mathematics skills.

 

Fountain Valley School District teachers are well-trained in using Cognitively-Guided Instruction practices to help students develop conceptual and computational skills that enable them to achieve at the highest levels. CGI has become a signature instructional practice throughout our TK-5th-grade classrooms. In 2015, FVSD launched a training initiative that ensured every teacher received intensive training in cognitively guided Instructional strategies and became well-versed in instructional road maps. 
 
During the 2018-19 school year, FVSD launched CGI Common Assessments, which are administered thrice each school year. Data from the CGI Common Assessments assist teachers in individualizing instruction to support students with specific strategies for solving complex, real-world math problems.
