Resources for Elementary Grades (K-5)

The North Carolina Collaborative for Mathematics Learning (NC2ML) brings together math educators to support each other with resources developed from significant research and practical experience for classroom success. Together, we create a network of support; give teachers, leaders, families, and students a voice in the future of math education; and, most important, develop enthusiastic math learners.

The VISIONS Project: Tools for a shared instructional approach that helps each and every student flourish

All education stakeholders need access to networking and rich learning experiences to develop and enact shared vision of teaching through problem-solving for each and every student to have conceptual understanding and procedural fluency in mathematics.

Networking and Learning Experiences

Opportunities for learning and conversation help build shared vision for high-quality, equitable mathematics instruction so that each and every student experiences mathematics instruction that supports them in flourishing in mathematics. Join NC2ML for statewide learning opportunities when possible.  Use our resources to organize conversations and professional learning in your own context!

How to integrate NC’s revised mathematics standards

A library of resources, by teachers for teachers

What do you need to know about revisions to NC DPI’s Math Standards and how should you integrate them to achieve high-quality, equitable math instruction? These are the questions that the NC2ML team — educators, district leaders, and researchers — takes on to ensure that teachers have support. We continue to refine support materials based on teacher feedback. Within this website, you can access these resources to ensure adherence to North Carolina standards while achieving your instructional goals.
