Request for Proposal No. 4983.1,

Mathematics Curriculum for Elementary and Middle Schools

1.0 INTENT

Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) is submitting this Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit

and partner with one or more established providers of mathematics curriculum aligned with the newly

revised Maryland College and Career-Ready Standards from Pre-Kindergarten through Integrated

Algebra 2, inclusive. This RFP seeks partners who share a vision for student-centered learning,

ensuring that all students have access to high-quality instructional resources aligned to the Maryland

College and Career-Ready Standards, and increasing student achievement to ensure proficiency at the

grade-level standard and success in college and careers.

MCPS seeks a curriculum that emphasizes the Standards of Mathematical Practice throughout, as the

critical processes and proficiencies of curriculum and instruction. Whereas these standards and

curricula serve as an essential force in getting all students—especially multilingual learners and

students receiving special education services—to the highest levels of attainment, curricular resources

must align with these standards and promote student-centered classroom environments that enhance

student learning. Furthermore, digital tools and formative assessment in teachers' hands must enable

differentiated instruction and timely support for students, including accessibility features such as read-

aloud and text-to-speech.

2.0 BACKGROUND

Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) is the most extensive school system in Maryland. In the

2023–24 school year, the district served 160,223 students and operated 211 schools. Its student body

speaks 167 languages, reflecting a richly diverse community. With a Fiscal Year 2026 operating

budget of approximately $3.65 billion, MCPS continues to invest substantially in educational

programs and operational support to serve its more than 25,000 employees.

MCPS remains committed to academic excellence and continuous improvement as it expands course

offerings and strengthens partnerships to support students’ college and career readiness.

In alignment with our strategic priorities, MCPS is committed to improving teaching and learning and

ensuring that our struggling students receive the same level of excellence provided to our successful

students. With the passage of the Maryland State Department of Education Mathematics Policy, there

is great potential to focus teaching and learning on what all students need to know and be able to do

to thrive in college, careers, and life in a global society. MCPS has traditionally invested in curriculum

and professional development, and in alignment with these standards, has created a mathematics

program focused on cognitive challenge, strategic and extended thinking, requiring students to

communicate their thinking in the language of mathematics.
