Wayzata Schools Unveils Major Math Curriculum Overhaul
District to implement new elementary program and restructure secondary courses, emphasizing student choice and integrating statistics in response to state standards.
Wayzata Public Schools is undertaking significant updates to its mathematics curriculum across all grade levels, a move extensively detailed during a Board of Education work session held on Monday, April 27, 2026. The changes encompass a district-wide adoption of a new elementary math program and a comprehensive restructuring of secondary-level mathematics courses, driven by the integration of new state standards and a focus on student agency.
The 2022 math standards were first the process began in the 21-22 cycle... these standards were not fully what we jokingly call legit until April of the 2025 calendar year.
Dana Miller, Executive Director, introduced the teaching and learning presentation, which was led by Abby Brar, Director of mathematics curriculum, standards, and strategic shifts. The elementary mathematics curriculum update, co-led by Math Instructional Coordinators Becca Ausby and Sarah Winans, outlined the full rollout of the Bridges Third Edition math curriculum. This program is slated for 100% adoption for elementary students by the 2026-2027 school year, ensuring a consistent and updated learning experience for younger students.
For elementary level, obviously we are going to a new math program... the bigger shift is with middle school and high school, where we are trying to break the longer curriculum into smaller pieces, integrate statistics early, and it provides more flexibility.
