Our Math program is called Everyday Math. This is a spiraled curriculum that is different than a “traditional program.”  Students are taught through math games, teacher directed instruction and small groups.  There are not many “worksheets” that will be sent home.

There is an online part.  You will get a password and login at Parent Teacher Conferences.

Common Core and Math

The Common Core Standards set goals for student mastery in English language arts and in Mathematics. The study of English language arts includes reading, writing, speaking and listening. Expectations are established for each grade across all subjects including science, history, and technology. The math standards emphasize that every student can be good in math. They set good math habits and strategies for students in each grade which include problem solving, persistence, precision, use of solid procedures, and checking to see if the answer makes sense.
