A current guide to Milpitas, Berryessa, North San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale math materials<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Milpitas elementary math curriculum guide compares the latest public information for Milpitas, Berryessa, North San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale, while separating new adoptions from older district records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sources reviewed July 29, 2026. However, curriculum adoptions, pilots, editions, and school-level supplements can change. Confirm the current classroom materials with your child\u2019s teacher before purchasing matching practice.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milpitas Elementary Math Curriculum at a Glance<\/strong>\uff1a

Milpitas Unified: <\/strong>May 2026 board highlights<\/a>\u00a0reports approval of an educator-recommended Imagine Learning math curriculum after a TK\u201310 review. However, the district has not yet updated its older curriculum matrix to match the new adoption.
Berryessa Union: <\/strong>the published adopted-materials list<\/a>\u00a0still shows Go Math K\u20132 and enVision 3\u20135, but the page marks those math entries as expiring in 2023. Treat them as historical, not 2026\u201327 facts.
Santa Clara Unified \/ North San Jose: <\/strong>Laurelwood Elementary\u2019s current page<\/a>\u00a0lists Origo Stepping Stones as K\u20135 core and i-Ready as support; confirm the program at your own school.
Sunnyvale School District: <\/strong>current curriculum pages<\/a>\u00a0list Illustrative Mathematics for K\u20135.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/i><\/span>Why This Guide Separates \u201cCurrent,\u201d \u201cPilot,\u201d and \u201cHistorical\u201d<\/strong><\/strong> <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

District websites often leave old adoption lists online while schools roll out newer pilots or board-approved programs. Therefore, this guide uses current official district pages where possible and clearly labels older or incomplete evidence. It calls a textbook current only when an available official source supports that conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/i><\/span>Milpitas Unified: A New Imagine Learning Adoption<\/strong><\/strong> <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Milpitas Unified\u2019s May 26, 2026 Board Highlights<\/u><\/a> report that the board adopted an educator-recommended Imagine Learning math curriculum. A May 12 update describes the work as a TK\u201310 math adoption process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The district\u2019s separate Curriculum Adoptions matrix<\/u><\/a> still lists the former elementary mix\u2014Everyday Math for TK and Math in Focus plus Go Math for grades 1\u20136\u2014alongside the 2025\u201326 math pilot. Because the public pages are in transition, the reliable 2026\u201327 question is which grades begin the new Imagine Learning curriculum and on what schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to ask now: <\/strong>Is my child using the newly adopted program this semester? What is the exact product name? Which legacy materials remain during rollout?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/i><\/span>Berryessa Union: The Public Math List Has Expired<\/strong><\/strong> <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Berryessa\u2019s published curriculum list<\/u><\/a> names Go Math for K\u20132 and enVisionMath for grades 3\u20135, but it also marks those math entries as expiring in 2023. A 2024\u201325 LCAP<\/u><\/a> said the district would explore a TK\u20135 math pilot\/adoption for 2025\u201326.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We did not find a current official page announcing the resulting 2026\u201327 core title. <\/strong>For accuracy, this guide does not present Go Math or enVision as current Berryessa programs. Ask the teacher or Education Services office for the board-adopted title, edition, and implementation year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/i><\/span>Santa Clara Unified \/ North San Jose: Laurelwood Confirms Origo<\/strong><\/strong> <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Laurelwood Elementary\u2019s current mathematics page<\/u><\/a> identifies Origo Stepping Stones as its K\u20135 core curriculum and i-Ready Math as support. This gives families useful evidence for Laurelwood, but they should not apply it automatically to every Santa Clara Unified elementary campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a North San Jose school, ask whether Origo is the core program and how the school uses i-Ready: diagnostic assessment, individualized practice, intervention, or all three. <\/strong>In other words, the role matters as much as the product name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/i><\/span>Sunnyvale School District: Illustrative Mathematics K\u20135<\/strong><\/strong> <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Sunnyvale School District\u2019s current curriculum page<\/u><\/a> lists Illustrative Mathematics K\u20135 as the elementary core. Families may see problem-based lessons, multiple representations, and class discussion before teachers formalize one efficient method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A productive parent prompt is: <\/strong>\u201cShow me two ways to represent the problem, then tell me which one makes the relationship easiest to see.\u201d This supports the curriculum\u2019s emphasis without simply re-teaching the lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
