How do we do MATH THEIR WAY?
We do Concept- based and Problem Solving Mathematics. Through independent, collaborative and teacher-directed learning engagements, children build on their math proficiency in the areas of: conceptual understanding, procedural knowledge & fluency, strategic competence, productive disposition and adaptive reasoning.
Class time is dedicated to making sure children understand concepts behind the Math activities they are doing while capitalizing on mathematical power: reasoning, communication and forming connections.
Automaticity in number operations is developed across the grade levels and grounded on solid foundations of math concepts which are learned at the primary levels.
We draw greatly from the standards set by the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics:
