Maryland Board Approves Overhaul of Statewide Math Curriculum
The Maryland State Board of Education has unanimously approved a new comprehensive math policy aimed at improving math proficiency across the state, particularly in light of declining student performance. The plan restructures math education from pre-K through 12th grade, integrating algebra, geometry, and statistics into a two-year curriculum starting in the 2027-2028 school year. The initiative also emphasizes equitable access to advanced math courses, starting with accelerated math programs from third grade. Additionally, it mandates various supports for struggling students and requires a minimum of 60 minutes of math instruction daily for grades K-8. Education leaders acknowledge the need for ongoing revisions to the policy as it is implemented over the next five years, responding to concerns about its feasibility and effectiveness. While the plan has garnered support, some educators express the need for more time for public review before finalizing the details.
