    èßäÊÓƵ adopted Bridges beginning with the 2011-12 èßäÊÓƵ year.  Bridges was developed over the course of the past thirty years by the Math Learning Center.  Originally it was located on the PSU campus and it is presently located in Salem, Oregon.  Funding for Bridges came from the National Science Foundation.  Bridges provides a constructivist approach to mathematics and it gives èßäÊÓƵ powerful, consistent visual models for every concept at every level of learning.  The curriculum is differentiated to meet the needs of all èßäÊÓƵ on the continuum. 

    There are three major components of Bridges in each classroom: Number Corner (the calendar component), Work Practice, and Number Games.
