Colorado Department of Education publishes free K-12 math resources 

DENVER – The Colorado Department of Education released a suite of free K-12 resources to support educators and families with math instruction. The CDE Math Intervention Resources were co-created with 18 math teachers from 12 Colorado school districts and four institutions of higher learning and the Colorado Council of Teachers of Mathematics (CCTM). These resources are designed for educators, families, and out-of-school time professionals to support student success in key areas of mathematics.

The resource toolkits include educational materials, assessments, and engaging activities designed for classroom and out-of-school-time use and address critical gaps in effective math intervention strategies.

"Math is the foundation for so many opportunities in school, careers, and life, and we are committed to ensuring every Colorado student has the support they need to succeed,” said Colorado Education Commissioner Susana Córdova. “These new intervention resources provide educators, families, and community partners with targeted, research-based tools to strengthen math learning and help students build confidence in their skills."

The toolkits are designed to complement the initiatives established under House Bill 23-1231, a bipartisan legislative effort to improve K-12 math proficiency in Colorado following a decline in math scores since 2020. The initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance math instruction and provide targeted support to boost statewide student achievement.
