The mathematics
curriculum emphasizes the overall structure of math and its
relationship to the real world. Activities range from the extensive
use of concrete materials in the primary grades to the more abstract,
higher level thinking skills of the upper elementary and cover six main
areas.
|
|
|
Number ~ counting by 1’s, then 2’s, 5’s and 10’s the students progress through addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division operations, interpretation of word
exercises, the use and understanding of fractions, decimal values,
mathematical expressions and sentences, estimation, and ratios.
|
Measurement ~ students develop familiarity with customary as well as non standard units of measurement, digital and analog clocks, Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers, and how to calculate perimeter, area, and volume.
|
 |
 |
Geometry
~ visual attributes and concrete materials are used to identify 2 and 3
dimensional geometric figures, congruency and symmetry, using geometric
tools (compass, protractor, ruler and straight edge). |
| Patterns and Functions ~ sequencing of objects and numbers, reading a table, and how to identify and graph points on a grid are the skills taught. |
|
|
Statistics and Probability ~ includes learning how to collect, organize, represent and interpret data, and how to predict and record the results of simple probability experiments.
|
| Logic ~ drawing logical conclusions as a result of observation, classification, and generalization is a skill that will be of value throughout each student’s life. |
