Mastery of place value through the hundreds place is emphasized. The accelerated students are exposed to values through the hundred thousands. Missing addends challenge problem-solving abilities. Estimating strategies are developed. Shape, size and symmetry, the calendar, and length and weight are learned.
All children work with bar graphs.
In addition, the accelerated group is introduced to angles, perimeter, area and volume. The multiple-source approach emphasizes problem solving and implements the National Standards of Mathematics as established by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
