They have aligned the curriculum so that the same concepts are taught in all classes at a grade level, and that skills are built on in the following grade levels. They also have highlighted the key focal points for learning. Those can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/sau51.org\/pes\/curriculum\/curriculum-overviews\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Teachers group topics together, plan how they will assess those topics and then they plan the daily lessons. Planning backwards like this makes sure the goal of the unit is kept in mind during all of the instruction. Our base curriculum is Everyday Mathematics. When there is need, teachers will pull from other resources to help students meet the instructional goals of the unit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Below you will find a collection of resources parents have found helpful in the past. This will be updated this year, so please email any resources you love to dharvey at pittsfieldnhschools dot org.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #1f497d; font-family: Bradley Hand ITC; font-size: 22pt;\">Need help with understanding Everyday Math?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.everydaymathonline.com\/free_resources_main.html?frnologin=1&amp;PHPSESSID=05af747b4b4c569644b2ab417602f8ae\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/sau51.org\/pes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/103009_1517_MathResourc13.png\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"color: #548dd4;\">This <\/span>site<span style=\"color: #548dd4;\"> is from the creators of Everyday Math.
