Mathematics Common Core State Standards Mathematics Curriculum Mathematics Instruction Mathematics is a way of thinking, communicating, and learning about the world. Our mission is to ensure that each student is challenged to achieve mathematical literacy and power. Successful learning involves the integrated, connected study of the various mathematics content strands (domains) as well as developed proficiency in understanding concepts, computing fluently, applying concepts, reasoning logically, and engaging with mathematics.
