The math program is integrated throughout the entire day through direct instruction, technology, hands on activities and practical life experiences. Math concepts taught include numeration, computation, measurement, fractions, geometry, time and money. Mental arithmetic activities provide an opportunity to develop abstract number sense and move toward mastery of addition facts. Math projects provide enrichment through cooperative group activities.
