Making grade-level mathematics more meaningful, relevant, and accessible for all students
This is the challenge math standards author Jason Zimba responded to in 2019. To meet the challenge, he recruited a team to create Math Milestones™.
Math Milestones™ shows the mathematics of each grade level as a set of tasks that fit on one page. Standards and textbooks are dense and extensive, but teachers and students can see the the Milestones all at once. Math Milestones™ is a carefully crafted set of tasks that embody the mathematics of each grade, K-8. Each grade’s tasks are a visualization of the grade-level standards in the language of teachers and students. These tasks are the foundation for a growing set of resources for purposes such as professional learning, curriculum analysis, assessment innovation, and parent support.
Math Milestones™ is an initiative of Student Achievement Partners founded by Jason Zimba, John W. Staley, and Elizabeth Meier. Our mission is to empower partners, states, and districts to improve mathematics achievement and strengthen mathematical identity among diverse communities of Black students, English learners, and students in poverty.
