"What We Are Not About!”

Our courses are designed to present abstract mathematical theories in a concrete manner, providing opportunities for children to understand the concepts through activities that are relevant to everyday life. Our mathematics classes do not focus on the mechanics of calculations, but rather, they support our students in acquiring knowledge and confidence to become active mathematics learners who can reason about and represent mathematical ideas and relationships.

The University of Chicago School Mathematics Project Everyday Mathematics Goals is based on National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Standards.

Mathematics contents are covered under six different strands:

1. Patterns, Functions and Algebra

2. Data and Chance

3. Measurement and Reference Frames

4. Geometry

5. Numeration, Operations and Computations

6. Logic

How Mathematic Topics are Chosen

Activity-based investigations encourage students to think creatively, develop their own problem-solving strategies, and work cooperatively. Students write, draw, and talk about math as well as use manipulatives, calculators, and computers.

How Mathematic Levels are Designed

Inspired by the developers of TERC Math and University of Chicago's Everyday Math Series, we design our math levels on a progressive spiral so that learners will acquire a comprehensive exposure to the diverse areas of mathematics. These concepts are important and fundamental for students to begin building solid foundations at an early age, as the knowledge will enable students to acquire with ease higher-level mathematics in their more mature years.
