Elementary Mathematics The Prince William County Elementary Mathematics Program addresses the essential learning for the academic content and prescribes what is to be taught at each grade level or course. It provides the framework for all students in Prince William County Public Schools to achieve procedural fluency and conceptual understanding. The curriculum is the foundation for a strong mathematics program that emphasizes problem solving, communication, reasoning and proof, connections, and multiple representations. The Prince William County Mathematics curriculum encompasses the Virginia Standards of Learning. Concepts are introduced and developed through the use of models and hands-on materials. Students apply concepts and skills through a variety of problem-solving experiences. In January, 2006, Investigations in Number, Data, and Space was adopted as the primary textbook series for the elementary grades. Kindergarten, first and second grades began using these materials in fall of 2006 followed by third grade in 2007. Fourth grade implementation began in the fall of 2008. Fifth grade begins in the fall of 2009. All grade levels are using the revised edition.
