Our mathematics curriculum is based on the NYS Learning Standards and is aligned with the Common Core Learning Standards. Children will explore meaningful mathematical problems in depth, as they work together using a variety of materials and express their mathematical thinking through talking, drawing, and writing.
·Activity-based lessons that provide children with the opportunity to explore/problem solve as they discover math in their world
·Lessons rich in mathematical language that encourage children to express their ideas/understandings as well as build their math vocabulary
·Hands-on opportunities with manipulatives that aid in developing/reinforcing math ideas and abstractions
·Focusing on relationships between addition and subtraction to develop automaticity of basic math facts
·Performance-based assessment to track progress as well as help the teacher plan future lessons according to student need.
