[b]EMIS will allow all students to access the advanced mathematics curriculum either in an advanced mathematics classroom or in a general education classroom through differentiation.[/b]  The new instructional sequence provides teachers with the tools needed for differentiation.  EMIS offers multiple entry points for students to access the advanced mathematics curriculum when they have developed the cognitive skills to be successful.  Advanced mathematics extended indicators and above grade level correlated standards will be available for students as early as kindergarten and will build a stronger foundation in mathematics.
