Mathematics students will also use, represent, and explain the concepts, skills, symbols, and vocabulary identified in the mathematics standards. The mathematics standards place a strong emphasis on mathematical concepts and understanding and also support the development of problem solving. Students will be actively engaged in learning mathematics through the use of concrete materials and appropriate technologies such as calculators and computers. Science students will conduct simple experiments. They are introduced to the process of classifying plants and animals based on simple characteristics.
Emphasis is placed on the relationships among objects and their interaction with each other.
