This program was developed at the University of Chicago and focuses on exposing children to a wide variety of mathematic concepts through games, daily integrated classroom experiences, and both large and small group instruction. It is a spiraling math program which simply means that math concepts are introduced and revisited frequently throughout the school year to help build strong mathematic foundations.
