Focus girl trying to solve mathematical equation[/caption]Our KCSOS math team is dedicated to improving engagement, success, and achievement in mathematics for the students of Kern County. We utilize current research and data to provide resources and support through professional development, coaching, and training services to county educators at sites and districts, in addition to the offerings here at KCSOS. We also sponsor a county-wide Math Field Day where middle school students are encouraged to participate in a day of fun-filled math activities, such as leap frog, math relays, cooperative group problem-solving, and more.
California Common Core State Standards (CA CCSS)
The California Common Core State Standards: Mathematics (CA CCSSM) reflect the importance of focus, coherence, and rigor as guiding principles for mathematics instruction and learning. California’s implementation of the CA CCSSM demonstrates a committtment to providing a world-class education for all students that supports college and career readiness and the knowledge and skills necessary to fully participate in the twenty-first- century global economy.

California Mathematics Framework
Focus, coherence, and rigor, the underlying principles of the California Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CA CCSSM), hold the promise of preparing all California students for college, careers, and civic life—and developing mathematically competent individuals who can use mathematics as a tool for making wise decisions in their personal lives, a foundation for rewarding work, and a means for comprehending and influencing the world in which they will live. This framework supports these ambitious goals by emphasizing mathematical instruction and learning that focus on key topics, build mathematical understanding and fluency in a coherent manner, and develop students’ ability to apply mathematics creatively to analyze and solve complex problems.
