Our major goal is mastery of basic operations in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Students are given a strong background in concepts and in computation using fractions, mixed numbers and decimals. The understanding of place value, rounding, estimating, prime numbers, factors and multiples is developed and extended. Percents, ratio and proportion, geometry, graphing and set theory are introduced. The sixth grade mathematics curriculum is integrated with and taught through algebra in preparation for the advanced mathematics program required in Upper School.
Students participate in and excel at contests at the school, country, state and national levels.
These competitions are open to all independent and public schools.
