Request for Pre-K and Elementary Math Curriculum Materials

The Puyallup School District Teaching and Learning Department is seeking information and pricing quotations for PreK–5th grade mathematics curriculum materials to support instruction in elementary classrooms across the district. This Request for Information (RFI) will help the district learn more about available core and intervention math programs, including supports for 6th grade general education math.

Course Overview

The PreK-5 mathematics program is designed to build a strong foundation in:

• Number sense and operations
• Fractions
• Measurement and geometry
• Problem-solving and mathematical reasoning

Students learn to think mathematically by exploring patterns, using models, and explaining their reasoning. Through hands-on activities, real-world tasks, and collaborative learning, students develop confidence and fluency with essential math skills. The program emphasizes conceptual understanding, procedural accuracy, and the ability to apply math strategies in a variety of situations to prepare students for deeper mathematical learning in later grades.

Vendors are also invited to submit materials that support:

• PreK-5 elementary math intervention
• 6th grade general education math

Key Dates

• Request for Information (RFI) release date: Monday, December 8, 2025
• Written response (white paper) due: Monday, January 5, 2026, by 4:30 p.m. PST
• Sample materials due: Tuesday, January 20, 2026, by 4:30 p.m. PST

What We Are Looking For

The district is seeking information on high-quality PreK-5 mathematics curriculum materials that:

• Support rigorous math instruction aligned with grade-level standards
• Provide clear pathways for conceptual understanding, fluency, and application
