All students learn about geometry, logic, probability and statistics, measurement and algebra. Math manipulatives such as geoboards, tangrams, perceptual puzzle blocks, and unifix cubes are used to further the understanding of mathematical concepts and reinforce skill acquisition.
Students work individually and in small groups to maximize their mathematical learning potential.
The teachers are able to provide instruction and projects for students working at different levels. By the end of sixth grade most of the students have mastered the four mathematical functions of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with whole numbers, fractions and decimals. The focus of the pre-algerbra and algebra classees offered to middle school students is to prepare them for higher level courses. Risk-taking, trial and error, finding several ways to solve the same problem are encouraged. Students learn that justifying, comparing and explaining results are just as important as 'getting the right answer .
