Mathematics

Claremont Unified School District has adopted an integrated approach to math, which means instead of studying geometry one year and algebra the next, each year has a mix of subjects.  This has trickled down to the elementary school and instead of working with Everyday Math, which was also integrated, they may adopt California GO Math at their next board meeting.

Families received an email inviting them to check out the materials.

Good evening Claremont families!
Instructional materials for elementary mathematics have been reviewed by District staff and are being recommended for adoption by the Claremont Unified School District.  As part of the process, these materials will be on display for public review and input prior to their recommendation for adoption at the August 7 meeting of the Board of Education.  
Materials will be on public display between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on the Atrium level of our District Office at 170 West San Jose Avenue, Claremont.
We welcome your input and look forward your feedback!

I felt as though it were my civic duty to take a look.

 I hope these books don't have to last more than one year since the pages are perforated.  I have concerns about the use of color, too.  But those are minor relative to the content.  I am hoping for the best.
