Mathematics
Beginning in the 2025-2026 school year, all K-5 GRCSU schools will be using Bridges 3 as a program for mathematical instruction. In a Bridges classroom, students gather evidence, explain their results, and develop respect for others’ opinions. Teachers encourage students to employ multiple strategies when solving problems. They foster student initiative by providing opportunities to work in pairs, discuss in small groups, or share with the whole class. As a result, students develop positive math identities while building problem-solving skills, conceptual understanding, and procedural fluency.
GRCSU is also invested in providing professional development through All Learners Network. All Learners Network (ALN) is a community of educators who are committed to improving math instruction for all students. We provide professional development that will improve pedagogy, which in turn affects learning outcomes for students. We seek to provide equitable access to quality math instruction by supporting and improving teachers’ pedagogical skill. This is done through our online platform, free resources, events, and embedded professional development.
