Math Study Committee

The purpose of the Math Study Committee is two-fold. First, committee members are researching effective mathematics instruction and exploring three key questions:

  • What is currently working with respect to mathematics education in MCS?

  • What is not currently working?

  • Where in the State of California is high school math instruction effective?

The second purpose is to make recommendations to the superintendent and the Board of Education on future math programming for the 2020-2021 school year.
