Mathematics Materials Review Committee: Recommendations for Core Mathematics Materials and Implementation Plan, Grades K-5	The Mathematics Materials Review Committee [MMRC], under the leadership of Mary Sterling, conducted a process to select core materials for mathematics instruction for grades kindergarten to five based on the best evidence about the programs currently available and the best possible understanding of the needs of the students, teachers and our communities. The district also requested funding in the FY09 budget to purchase new materials, provide professional development and on-going support for the faculty to successfully implement a new program. The MMRC followed an extensive process that consisted of a careful review of the research on elementary mathematics teaching, used extensive evaluation criteria, made site visits to eighteen public schools using materials under consideration, and sponsored parent and faculty meetings. They narrowed the options to three programs that best met the district's criteria, coordinated trial use in ten classrooms, and carefully evaluated of all of the data. The MMRC has recommended that we adopt Everyday Mathematics, published by the Wright Group/McGraw Hill.	Mary Sterling
