Children use arithmetic skills to solve problems. Our program focuses on implementing The National Council for Teacher of Mathematics Standards document. Mathematical Reasoning, Numeration and Numbers, Operations, Modeling and Representation, Measurement and Uncertainty are the strands of the standards which we strive to incluin our curriculum. The math curriculum at SSDS encourages students to use their skills in fun, interesting, and authentic problem solving situations.
Children keep a math journal.
In this journal children practice aritculating what they know and understand about the math problems they are solving. . In addition, children learn how to work in cooperative groups. Math enrichemtn is a pull out program and a push in program. A new edition to our program is Math Olympiads. This is a program offered to 4th and 5th graders.
