Setting a foundation

Grades 4th-6th is an ideal time for students to begin developing an intuitive math sense, while also building their fluency in essential topics. The focus is not on memorization, but on building a student’s true, deep-rooted understanding. This gives them the skills they need to succeed, not only in current math classes, but is also foundational to future success in algebra.

GRADE 4 MATH

Math 1

Through lessons and games, students explore and learn about shapes, multiplication, exponents, counting, division, and logical reasoning.

SYLLABUS

Math 2

Students learn by discovering the rules and concepts behind factors, fractions, integers, decimals, and probability.

SYLLABUS

GRADE 5 MATH

Math 1

Students are engaged in discovery about solids, integers, expressions, equations, statistics, factors, multiples, and fractions.

SYLLABUS

Math 2

Students develop a deep understanding of sequences, ratios & rates, decimals, percents, square roots, and exponents.

SYLLABUS

GRADE 6 MATH

PreAlgebra 1

Grounded in the fundamentals of fractions, exponents, and decimals, students explore number theory and algebra, including common divisors and multiples, primes and prime factorizations, basic equations and inequalities, and ratios.

SYLLABUS

PreAlgebra 2

This builds off the concepts mastered in Prealgebra 1 by introducing percents and square roots; dives into an exploration of geometric tools and strategies, and provides an introduction to topics in discrete mathematics and statistics; continues to explore and develop general problem-solving strategies.
