Kindergartners learn how to do addition equations using counters. They reinforce these
skills by completing activities in which they solve an equation and then match it to the
answer card.

First Graders work independently, with a partner, or with a teacher to solve multistep addition and subtraction problems. Students are encouraged to explain their thinking by using number sentences, words, pictures, or manipulatives.

Second Graders take a hands-on approach while exploring fractions. Each student sorted a bag of candy by color, then ATE half of each group. The remaining parts of each group were recorded and illustrated in small booklets. Who knew learning about fractions could be so tasty?!

Third Graders build net patterns to create 3-D shapes as they study plane and solid
geometry.

 

Fourth Graders measure to find the area and perimeter of the paved space we use for recess. The information will be collected and organized to determine the cost of
resurfacing the area and planting trees around the perimeter.
