District 87's math curriculum is aligned to the Common Core Standards. The guiding text for students is Scott Foresman-Addison Wesley's EnVision Math. Students will be studying the sixteen different topic areas listed below (not necessarily in the sequence shown). As the year progresses, I will add links to some helpful webites for each of these topics:Pearson SuccessNet (link to math book; students need to type in BL in front of their 5-digit user number, and then use their network password as usual)
