DoDEA Standards for Middle Grades Mathematics

Below are links to the guidelines, expectancies and standards specific to the Department of Defense Dependents Schools. For further information, see the DoDEA Educational Program page.

The changing nature of society with its increased emphasis on mathematical literacy for all students has led to a national reexamination of mathematics education. The Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS) have responded to the challenge of a quality contemporary mathematics education by developing a powerful and enriched mathematics curriculum.

DoDDS has identified four global mathematics goals for all students:

• All students will have equal access to quality education,
• All students will have an opportunity to become mathematically literate,
• All students will have an opportunity to become mathematically powerful,
• All students will have the opportunity to become informed citizens capable of understanding issues in a technological society.

In order to provide a framework for students' achievement of the goals, DoDDS educators have developed Guidelines and Expectancies for the K-12 mathematics program. The Expectancies follow nationally recognized standards and are based on educational research. The Expectancies reflect relevant mathematical content and effective teaching strategies.
