Advanced Learning Opportunities in Mathematics

Advanced learning opportunities in mathematics (ORC 3313.6032) refer to academic content that exceeds the standard curriculum for a student's grade level. This can include advanced mathematics courses that are two grade levels above the student's current level. School districts that offer advanced learning opportunities in mathematics are required to provide these opportunities to students who achieve an advanced level on relevant assessments. For more information, go to the Advanced Learning Opportunities in Mathematics webpage. 

Ohio's Professional Learning Resources 

Aligned with the principles of an Integrated Multi-Tiered System of Supports (Ohio's Integrated MTSS), the Instructional Practice Guide (IPG) supports data-informed decision-making and tiered instructional practices by helping educators identify and strengthen core instructional strategies that benefit all learners.

Ohio's Math Classroom Instructional Practice Guide (IPG) is an observation, coaching, and planning tool designed for educators, and those who support educators, in reflecting on and improving mathematics instruction. Aligned with the principles of an Integrated Multi-Tiered System of Supports (Ohio's Integrated MTSS), the Instructional Practice Guide supports data-informed decision-making and tiered instructional practices by helping educators identify and strengthen core instructional strategies that benefit all learners. The guide is a detailed rubric for building collective understanding on lesson alignment, instructional rigor, and student engagement. It includes core actions such as ensuring lessons reflect grade-level standards, linking content to prior knowledge, and targeting appropriate aspects of rigor (conceptual understanding, procedural skill, and application). With built-in observation notes and scoring rubrics, this document is ideal for use during instructional rounds, peer observations, or professional learning sessions to promote reflective teaching and continuous improvement.

Resources Created by Organizations from Outside of Ohio 

These resources were created by professional organizations outside of Ohio and are not guaranteed to fully align to the Ohio Learning Standards for Mathematics.  When reviewing these resources, educators can use the expectations for learning and content elaborations contained in the Model Curriculum to help make determinations on whether to use the materials with their instruction. 

  • Arizona Progressions - These narrative documents describe the typical learning progression of a topic, informed by both research on children’s cognitive development and the logical structure of mathematics.
  • Illuminations - This project by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics provides quality lessons and interactive resources for teaching and learning mathematics.  
  • Illustrative Mathematics – This site illustrates the range and types of mathematical work that students should experience as teachers use Ohio's Learning Standards in Mathematics. It also presents other tools supporting standards-based instruction.
  • Inside Mathematics - Educators can find exemplary standards-based lesson ideas on this site, as well as classroom videos. Teachers interested in the lessons can search under “performance task” for lesson ideas organized by grade and course.
  • National Library of Virtual Manipulatives - The site contains manipulatives and concept tutorials across the grade bands.
