Overview
The deep conceptual understanding that’s the hallmark of the program leads to strong skills fluency and the ability to make generalizations within and among mathematical strands. As students grow and learn to think critically, teachers develop their own rich understanding of math through detailed instruction and embedded support.
Contextual Learning
Students develop an understanding of mathematics through real-world situations and visual supports.
Multiple Strategies
Students learn multiple ways to solve problems, including algorithms based on reasoning.
Manageable Instruction
Teaching materials were designed to embody a "learn-while-teaching" style.
Student Experience
Coherence
Students make connections between key topics both within and across grades.
Discourse
Math Talk gives students the chance to ask questions and use their MathBoards to explain and justify their solutions.
Practice
The online Student Activity Book gives young learners the tools to explore, practice, and deepen their understanding of key math concepts.
