StanMath
StanMATH as an outcome is focused on ensuring Stanislaus County students of all ages demonstrate confidence, success, and joy in mathematics.
Priority Focus
StanMATH seeks to shift the culture of math learning from dread to joy, both inside and outside the classroom. The Stanislaus Parent Network has been hosting Math Festivals across the county to provide families an opportunity to deepen math skills in a fun and engaging environment.
Why this Matters
Families understand that early reading success matters. Research also indicates that students who successfully develop elementary math skills and see themselves as competent math learners perform better in higher mathematics courses. Math proficiency at an early age opens future opportunities for careers in science, technology, engineering, and health careers.

Key Insights and Challenges
The data is clear: we need tocoordinate our approach to math education in order for ALL students to be competent and find success and joy in math.
Fifth grade math is just one indicator we are studying, and the trend is similar at most grade levels. Math challenges exist through the entire cradle-to-career continuum.
Mindset is an area of focus. Culturally, it is acceptable to believe some are “bad at” math. That belief needs to change. All individuals are capable of math proficiency.
