Secondary Math Pilot

Dear Educational Partner,

We are excited to share that the Temecula Valley Unified School District is participating in a mathematics curriculum pilot at both the middle and high school levels. This initiative is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance math instruction in alignment with the updated California Mathematics Framework.

The pilot process began in the spring, when our math pilot team—composed of teachers, instructional leaders, and administrators—reviewed the California state standards, the updated Math Framework, and potential curriculum options that align with our instructional goals and vision.

Throughout this school year, your student’s teacher will be piloting two different math curricula. Each of these programs is designed to provide students with a rigorous and engaging learning experience that emphasizes deep conceptual understanding, meaningful problem-solving, and rich mathematical thinking. The pilot will allow us to collect valuable feedback from students, teachers, and families to help us evaluate the effectiveness of these materials in our classrooms.

This work is driven by the release of the revised California Mathematics Framework in summer 2023, which reimagines TK–12 math education as a student-centered, inquiry-based experience. The framework emphasizes making connections, fostering understanding, and supporting all students through equitable and inclusive practices. If you’d like to learn more about the framework, we invite you to visit the California Department of Education website.

What does this mean for your student?
This fall and winter, your student will experience new lessons, activities, and instructional materials from the pilot curricula. Teachers will continue delivering high-quality instruction while integrating these new resources to support students’ growth in mathematical understanding and engagement.

How can you be involved?
Your feedback is an essential part of this process. As the pilot progresses, we encourage you to share your questions, observations, and reflections. Your input will help guide our decisions as we consider the best long-term math curriculum for our schools. Middle school students will engage with MidSchoolMath and Desmos. High school students will engage with Imagine Learning and Amplify. The student workbooks and textbooks are available at your student's school and the district office if you would like to review them.

We will also be forming a Parent Curriculum Advisory Committee, composed of parents directly involved in the curriculum pilot process, as well as instructional coaches, site administrators, and district leaders. Committee members will review state standards, adopted frameworks, and piloted curriculum materials to support thoughtful curriculum decisions.If you are interested in being considered for this committee, please complete the interest form. Please note that submitting the form does not guarantee selection. The committee will consist of approximately 20 members.

We truly value your partnership and appreciate your ongoing support. Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education—we look forward to an exciting year of learning and growth together.
