The Mathematics program at RMS has undergone many changes with the transition to the Common Core and supplemental California Common Core State Standards. At the heart of the Rialto Middle Mathematics Department lies the belief that ALL students are capable of effective problem solving and mathematical success.

We are also continuing to evolve our courses year after year in order to give students more experiences with real-world engaging mathematics and complex tasks. We look forward to unveiling these lessons as they are developed.

The Department wants to emphasize to students, parents, and fellow teachers that productive struggle is a part of the learning process and mistakes, wrong answers, and mathematical argumentation are learning opportunities that should be explored and celebrated in the classroom. We challenge students to take academic risks and push their knowledge and understandings to the limit just like real-life career mathematicians!
