Our fifth through eighth grade math program focuses on developing students' understanding of complex mathematical concepts through a structured curriculum. In fifth grade, students work with numbers up to 10,000,000 and deepen their understanding of core skills such as multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, geometry, and measurement. Students continue to develop real-world problem-solving skills that hone their critical thinking abilities. Sixth graders build upon these foundational skills, exploring operations with fractions, decimals, and percentages, and engaging in hands-on projects like the Spring Probability Carnival. The Algebra 1 course spans seventh and eighth grades, allowing students to progress at a developmentally appropriate pace. In seventh grade, our students learn about variables, expressions, and real-world applications. Eighth graders dive deeper into linear equations, inequalities, and quadratic equations, emphasizing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The curriculum’s goal is to grow mathematical confidence and prepare students for advanced high school courses. Instruction is differentiated in order to ensure all students find success within the program.
