Placer County Office of Education built foundational knowledge in conceptual math through work in two grants; Rigorous Instruction in Mathematics (RIMS) and the Students Understanding Complex Concepts Equals Student Success (SUCCESS). These grants laid a strong foundation for Common Core Mathematics instruction by building county and district leaders with conceptual understanding of math concepts and the strategies in which to engage students in a deeper learning of mathematics.
