Eureka/EngageNY Math

The K-8 students of Uinta County School District #1 use the Eureka Math from GreatMinds Math Curriculum.  Eureka Math, also known as Engage NY, is a math curriculum that sequences the mathematical progressions in a logical order in modules.  This curriculum is designed to reduce gaps in student learning, instill persistence in problem solving, and prepare students to understand advanced math.

College Preparatory Mathematics (CPM)  

College Preparatory Mathematics (CPM0 is comprised of a five-year sequence of college preparatory mathematics courses that starts with Core Connections Integrated I and continues through Calculus Third Edition. It aims to deepen and extend student understanding built in previous courses by focusing on developing fluency with solving linear equations, inequalities, and systems. These skills are extended to solving simple exponential equations, exploring linear and exponential functions graphically, numerically, symbolically, and as sequences, and by using regression techniques to analyze the fit of models to distributions of data.

On a daily basis, students use problem-solving strategies, questioning, investigating, analyzing critically, gathering and constructing evidence, and communicating rigorous arguments justifying their thinking. Under teacher guidance, students lean in collaboration with others while sharing information, expertise, and ideas. The program offers a well balanced approach among procedural fluency (algorithms and basic skills), deep conceptual understanding, strategic competence (problem solving), and adaptive reasoning (extension and application). The courses embed the CCSS Standards for Mathematical Practices as an integral part of the lessons in the course.

    Dear Parent(s)

    Each spring the district makes application for available federal grant funds to support the education of students. As a part of this application, the district is required to contact each home-based education program to determine if the program wishes to participate in the services to be provided by the grant funds. Listed below are the federal fund programs and a brief description of the services provided.

    Title I, Part A: Purpose of the program is to help at-risk students meet challenging content and performance standards in the area of reading and mathematics.

    Title II, Part A: Purpose of the program is to increase student academic achievement through strategies such as improving teacher and principal quality and increasing the number of highly qualified teachers in the classroom and highly qualified principals and assistant principals in schools.

    Title III: Purpose of the program is to ensure that limited English proficient (LEP) students, including immigrant children, develop English proficiency and meet the same academic content and achievement standards as other students are expected to meet.

    Perkins: Purpose of the program is to provide secondary and post-secondary students the opportunity to receive vocational and technical training.

    IDEA VI-B Flow through and 619 Preschool: Services available include the identification and evaluation of students with disabilities and access to special education classes and services.

    21st Century Community Learning Centers: Purpose of the program is to provide quality before and after school and summer enrichment opportunities that engage students and link to the regular-school day.

    If you are interested in participating in any of the above programs, please contact the curriculum office. Feel free to contact me at any time with any questions or concerns you may have regarding the programs addressed in this letter at 789-7571 ext. 1020. As a friendly reminder, no funds can be paid directly to the private or home school.

    Sincerely,

    Homebound Instruction

    The Board of Trustees of the Uinta County School District Number One shall offer homebound instruction during the school year, while school is in session for each pupil in the district who is unable to attend school for more than five (5) consecutive school days, because of injury or illness. It may not be possible to provide a full-scale instructional program under these circumstances; therefore, subjects essential to a student's general progress will be the basis of the homebound instruction program.

    Homebound instruction is a support to a student during a period of illness to allow the student to continue with the requirements of their course of study. Homebound instruction does not exempt the student from completing course work/curriculum required at the grade level.

    For more information contact the Principal of your student's school.
