Math
Purpose:
To develop mathematically literate students who value mathematics, have
confidence in their own math abilities, and who can communicate, problem
solve and reason mathematically.
Philosophy:
Learn with the Best utilizes a math program called Everyday Mathematics.
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.
Goals:
- Develop number sense including counting, number sets, and one-to-
one correspondence
- Sort and classify by color, shape, and size
- Create and continue basic patterns
- Develop an awareness of concepts related to estimation,
measurement, clock, calendar, money, and temperature
- Use graphs, pictures, and diagrams to solve problems
