Description

Our Math I course is designed for students who are comfortable counting to 100, recognize numbers up to 100, and have begun developing fluency with addition and subtraction within 20. In this course, students will build on that foundation by mastering addition and subtraction up to 100—beginning with facts within 10, progressing to 20, and eventually reaching 100—with an emphasis on mental math strategies.

In the second part of this school year long course, students will be introduced to the concepts of multiplication and division, gaining an understanding of equal groups and learning basic facts up to 12. They’ll also explore standard units of measurement, including length, weight, and time, as well as foundational concepts in money, basic fractions, graphs, and two- and three-dimensional shapes.

Rather than relying on rote memorization, this course emphasizes deep conceptual understanding and the development of strong logical thinking and problem-solving skills. Students are encouraged to make connections between topics, apply prior knowledge, and develop confidence in their mathematical reasoning.

Our curriculum follows the Singapore Math approach, a globally respected method known for fostering deep mathematical understanding through problem-solving and logical reasoning.
