2. Background Information

2.1. Goals and Outcomes

Wasatch School District seeks to gather information on Elementary (K–5) Mathematics curriculum programs that will support high-quality instruction and improved student learning outcomes. Through this RFI, the district aims to better understand curriculum options that:

• Align with the Utah Core Standards for Mathematics and support coherent learning progressions across grades K–5

• Promote conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and mathematical reasoning

• Support effective instructional practices, including problem-based learning and student discourse

• Address the needs of diverse learners, including students with disabilities, multilingual learners, and students requiring additional academic support or enrichment

• Include embedded or supplemental intervention and differentiation supports within a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS)

• Provide high-quality instructional materials and resources for both teachers and students, including print and digital components

• Offer meaningful assessment tools to monitor student progress and inform instruction

• Include professional learning and implementation supports for teachers, instructional coaches, and administrators

• Provide instructional materials and student-facing resources that are available in both English and

Spanish, including core materials, assessments, and family or caregiver supports, to ensure equitable access for Spanish-speaking students and families

Information gathered will be used to inform district planning and potential future decisions related to elementary mathematics curriculum adoption or implementation.

2.2. Background

Wasatch School District is a Utah school district serving approximately 8,500 students across multiple schools and programs. The district includes five elementary schools serving grades K–5, all of which offer Spanish Dual Language Immersion (DLI) programs. In addition, the district operates one online school serving students in grades K–8.

The district is committed to providing high-quality mathematics instruction that supports strong conceptual understanding, mathematical reasoning, and equitable access to learning for all students.

Given the presence of Spanish Dual Language Immersion programs at each elementary school, the district is particularly interested in mathematics curriculum solutions that support instruction in both English and Spanish and that are appropriate for dual language instructional models.

Wasatch School District seeks curriculum options that are coherent across grade levels, support diverse instructional settings, and provide flexibility for in-person and online learning environments. The district is gathering information to better understand available elementary mathematics curriculum programs and how they may support instructional goals, teacher practice, and student learning across traditional and online settings.
