Math Curriculum

The math curriculum combines foundational skills with explorations of beauty, history, and theory.

  • Enrichment includes biographies of mathematicians, history of math, and connections to music and economics, fostering wonder and understanding.

Builds confidence step by step: Lessons are introduced gradually, with daily review, so students feel secure and successful as skills build.

  • Respects how children learn: Repetition and steady practice help concepts truly “stick,” reducing frustration and math anxiety.

  • Supports all learners: Clear structure and consistency ensure every child across learning styles and ability levels can thrive.

    4th - 6th Grade

    The math curriculum will incude the following skills through our students’ Upper Elementary years:

    Word problems, number lines, elapsed time, inverse operations, square roots/powers, multi-digit operations, fractions (mixed/improper), decimals, percents, geometry, measurement, and probability, multi-digit operations, reciprocals, decimals, fractions/mixed numbers, divisibility tests, conversions, estimation, variables, equations, powers/exponents, geometry, and probability, ratios, proportion, scientific notation, signed numbers, order of operations, scaling, algebraic terms, two-step equations/inequalities, slope, and graphing.

    7th - 8th Grade

    Our math curriculum is spiral based to assure concepts are not forgotten, but mastered as the student progreeses through more complex operations as presented in the pre-algebra and algebra lessons presented in our Junior High program. The following skills are presented in Junior High:

    Measurements, geometry, pre-algebra, ratios, palindromes, advanced probability and statistics, complex/equivalent fractions, graphing transformations, the metric system, point symmetry, repeating decimals, scientific notation, algebraic terms, the Pythagorean Theorem, and slope-intercept form.

    If the student has mastered these concepts, they are free to continue into Algebra/Geometry, which offers:

    Signed numbers, exponents, solving equations, two equations with unknowns, graphing equations, scientific notation, ratio, percent, variation, unit conversions, geometry, trinomials, rational equations, perimeter, area, volume, English to metric conversion, surface area, and the quadratic formula.
