K-5 Mathematics

Elementary mathematics focuses on curiosity, exploration, and applying math to everyday life. Each concept builds confidence through understanding rather than memorization — allowing students to see how numbers, patterns, and shapes connect in meaningful ways.

​

Operations and Algebraic Thinking

Students begin to understand addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division through real-world problems. They learn how to recognize and create patterns, use reasoning to solve equations, and explain why operations work.

This stage lays the groundwork for later algebraic thinking by encouraging logical connections and flexible problem solving.

Number and Operations in Base Ten

Here, students deepen their understanding of place value — recognizing how digits represent ones, tens, hundreds, and beyond. They learn to add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit numbers while also connecting those operations to visual models and real contexts.

Number and Operations — Fractions

Fractions are introduced as parts of a whole, quantities, and locations on a number line. Students learn to compare, order, and perform operations with fractions, preparing them to apply these skills in measurement, geometry, and data interpretation.

Measurement and Time Data

Measurement comes to life as students explore length, mass, volume, and time using hands-on activities. They learn to collect data, create charts, and interpret graphs — discovering how math describes the world around them.

Geometry

Students identify, compare, and classify shapes based on their attributes. They explore the relationships between 2D and 3D figures, symmetry, and spatial reasoning — setting a strong foundation for future geometry and visual problem solving.
