Hands-on math lessons in our Early School classrooms build curiosity about numbers and problem-solving.
Counting, Measuring, Building
Early School students begin to learn that math is all around them, not just in the classroom. Children work individually and in groups, as math concepts come alive in lessons that incorporate tangible items that foster many skills, including pattern making, counting, and problem-solving.
In pre-kindergarten, math lessons take place throughout the day, with a hands-on approach that builds on students’ existing curiosity and challenges them to solve problems.
In pre-kindergarten, students may:
- Develop analytical thinking skills
- Identify, name, and order whole numbers
- Explore the principles of one-to-one correspondence
- Quantify and count objects
- Recognize patterns and sort by multiple attributes
- Chart, estimate, and graph classroom experiences
- Investigate size, shape, weight, and spatial sense
- Construct mathematical relationships
