Math

Through the use of hands-on projects that model real-world situations, we strive to give students a challenging, enriching, and relevant math experience. From cooperative learning groups in Kindergarten to project teams in later years, collaboration and process are emphasized. Our mathematics program balances computation and concept. Our math standards ensure mastery of basic computation, mathematical vocabulary, and problem-solving skills at each grade. We place an emphasis on thinking mathematically as we strive to develop an understanding of fractions, decimals, ratios, and percents, which are essential to success in higher-level math courses. We offer the opportunity for students with aptitude and motivation to accelerate, and qualified students are able to take Algebra II in the 8th grade. All of our students study Algebra before graduation.
