The Washington State Mathematics Learning Standards (WA Math 2025) are here! In this interactive session, participants will explore what has changed, what remains familiar, and how the updated standards impact instruction and student learning across middle and high school mathematics. Through guided activities and discussion, we will examine how the new standards are organized and how they support coherence, reasoning, and sense-making across courses and grade bands. Participants will engage in a structured walk-through of WA Math 2025, with attention to:
What is new and what remains familiar in secondary content and expectations
Key organizational shifts, including the reorganization of standards into domains and the integration of Data Analysis and Data Science
Fluency expectations across number sets, emphasizing flexibility, efficiency, and accuracy rather than speed or memorization
Connections to instruction, including reasoning, modeling, representations, and student discourse in secondary classrooms
Implications for course planning and alignment, with opportunities to reflect on current practice and identify next steps
This session is designed for mathematics educators, instructional coaches, and leaders, and will support understanding of how WA Math 2025 promotes coherence and alignment across middle school and high school mathematics.
