Children make remarkable progress with their math skills during their years at Primary Day, moving from basic number recognition and simple counting in the fall of Pre-Kindergarten to multiplication and division, geometry, algebraic number patterns, and other advanced math concepts and critical thinking skills by the time they finish Second Grade.

The Primary Day School’s math curriculum focuses on building a solid foundation for success by cultivating a positive attitude, developing critical thinking skills, and fostering confidence in learners.

Our program utilizes Math in Focus (Singapore Math) materials. Math in Focus follows a sequence of topics that gives students time to fully master foundational math skills. Teachers use a scaffolding approach which adapts instruction to individual learners. Spatial and logical reasoning skills are developed through the use of technology, manipulatives, problem solving, and hands-on activities.

At Primary Day, math is integrated at each grade level throughout the curriculum using a wide range of stimulating and engaging methodologies. Our multi-sensory approach to learning gives every child the opportunity to be supported, challenged, and to excel in math.
