Mathematics instruction in APS is aligned to the five Process Standards for Mathematics developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and promoted by the Virginia Department of Education.
Students will apply mathematical concepts and skills and the relationships among them to solve problem situations of varying complexities. Students also will recognize and create problems from real-world data and situations within and outside mathematics and then apply appropriate strategies to determine acceptable solutions. To accomplish this goal, students will need to develop a repertoire of skills and strategies for solving a variety of problem types. A major goal of the mathematics program is to help students apply mathematics concepts and skills to become mathematical problem solvers.
Students will communicate thinking and reasoning using the language of mathematics, including specialized vocabulary and symbolic notation, to express mathematical ideas with precision. Representing, discussing, justifying, conjecturing, reading, writing, presenting, and listening to mathematics will help students to clarify their thinking and deepen their understanding of the mathematics being studied. Mathematical communication becomes visible where learning involves participation in mathematical discussions.
Students will recognize reasoning and proof as fundamental aspects of mathematics. Students will learn and apply inductive and deductive reasoning skills to make, test, and evaluate mathematical statements and to justify steps in mathematical procedures. Students will use logical reasoning to analyze an argument and to determine whether conclusions are valid. In addition, students will use number sense to apply proportional and spatial reasoning and to reason from a variety of representations.
Students will build upon prior knowledge to relate concepts and procedures from different topics within mathematics and see mathematics as an integrated field of study. Through the practical application of content and process skills, students will make connections among different areas of mathematics and between mathematics and other disciplines, and to real-world contexts. Science and mathematics teachers and curriculum writers are encouraged to develop mathematics and science curricula that support, apply, and reinforce each other.
Please note that these summer reviews are designed to help students review the Virginia Standards of Learning for a particular grade level. Successful completion of these summer reviews does not indicate a child has mastered the content for that particular grade level.

Arlington Public Schools uses the following purchased resources to support the teaching and learning of the Virginia Department of Education Standards of Learning for Mathematics. Textbooks and online text resources are just one aspect of the media and methodology used to create rich instructional experiences for our students.
Many strong math students are usually recommended for Math 6. And, Math 6 is a rigorous course! The majority of APS students will spend a year in Math 6 in order to gain a solid mathematics foundation, as outlined by the 2016 curriculum, before potentially receiving a compacted curriculum the following year. The Grade 6 mathematics standards include content that was historically taught in higher level math courses.
Arlington Public Schools prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, creed, color, religion, gender, age, economic status, sexual orientation, marital status, genetic information, gender identity or expression, and/or disability. This policy provides equal access to courses and programs, counseling services, physical education and athletics, vocational education, instructional materials and extra-curricular activities.
Following the completion of the Spring 2024 cycle the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) will cease to offer the service of program review for licensure, certification, and/or endorsement of Secondary and Middle Level Mathematics teacher education programs and Elementary Mathematics Specialist advanced programs. New submission will be accepted for the Fall 2023 cycle. Only Revised and Response to Conditions reports will be reviewed in Spring 2024. NCTM will not review SPA Reports in the Fall 2024. Read the full statement.
Standards, Supporting Explanations, and Rubrics
These documents are the complete standards documents with supporting explanations, suggestions for evidence, reviewer rubrics and references.
Reviewer Rubrics
These documents contain the complete instructions for reviewers and program report compilers. The documents contain the preponderance of evidence for each standard, suggestions on assessments that have potential to provide evidence for standards, and the reviewer rubrics written in terms of candidate performance.
NCTM solicits volunteers to become program reviewers. Program compilers are encouraged to become program reviewers. Information and application materials can be found at the Program Reviewer Application Page.
The 2020 Mathematics program standards and reviewer rubrics are available to institutions seeking mathematics program accreditation for their secondary, and middle grades teacher preparation programs.
Required mathematics content knowledge for all levels of mathematics teacher candidates is specified in a content addendum accompanying each set of standards. Reviewer rubrics by level include criteria for how program evidence will be judged.
The approval of the NCTM CAEP Standards (2012) provides the impetus for updating how the CAEP guidelines for documenting course grades as an assessment are applied by programs electing to use grades in mathematics courses as an assessment of candidate content knowledge.
Course grades may be used with the NCTM CAEP Standards (2012) for only one assessment of candidate content knowledge. Required mathematics or mathematics education courses selected for inclusion must be aligned to elements of the NCTM CAEP Standards (2012) and to the NCTM CAEP Mathematics Content for Secondary, Middle Grades, or Elementary Mathematics Specialist.
Graduate level programs (e.g., MAT or M.Ed.) that rely on undergraduate mathematics coursework taken by program candidates a another institution or in a different academic major must complete a transcript analysis to determine the sufficiency of courses taken and to specify coursework required to remediate mathematics content deficiencies of admitted candidates.
A step-by-step guide for using and documenting course grades based on the NCTM CAEP Standards (2012) and NCTM CAEP Mathematics Content for Secondary, Middle Grades, or Elementary Mathematics Specialist has been developed. In addition, a Template for Course Grades and or Transcript Analysis for each preparation level are available for downloading. The appropriate downloaded form must be used for entering the required information.
Alignments presented below of the NCTM CAEP Standards (2012) with edTPA Mathematics Operational Handbook rubric criteria represent a collaborative effort among NCTM, edTPA, and CAEP.
Students who are interested in studying both Mathematics and Computer Science at Tandon have the option of pursuing Double Majors. For this program, Mathematics must be the Primary Major and Computer Science the Secondary Major. Interested students should carefully review all documents below and then contact soe....@nyu.edu to schedule an appointment for advising.
Any students interested in declaring this double major must contact the Math Department at soe....@nyu.edu to request an appointment to discuss this option before filling out any of the above forms.
