MCPS Elementary Compacted Math Updates

New information about MCPS elementary math is now available on the MCPS Math webpage.

ICYMI: MCPS is shifting from separate Compacted Math courses to a “cluster grouping” model, in which “a small group of students with similar readiness levels is placed in a classroom with a teacher prepared to provide appropriately challenging instruction.” “[E]ach classroom will include no more than three instructional cohorts.”

Implementation Timeline

• 2026–2027: Grade 4 cluster grouping
• 2027–2028: Grades 3 and 5 cluster grouping

MCPS Resources

• FAQ on the new cluster grouping model
• Math placement criteria and sample pathways for parents — particularly relevant for third grade families
