CRUNCHING NUMBERS

All big changes at SHS come on the heels of exhaustive research and inquiry and the new Lower School math curriculum is no exception. Following a review that began in 2019, the Math Advisory Group identified the need for a curriculum that would standardize skill development horizontally and vertically between grades. The Group selected Investigations and Illustrative Math—a highlyrated, inquiry-based curriculum based on more than 20 years of research and development. This year, SHS gradeheads assessed the program’s potential for meeting academic and cultural criteria and will make a final recommendation in February 2023. Implementation of the new curriculum is planned for September 2023.
