Math Overview

Our philosophy of teaching mathematics is based on a discovery approach. Beginning in PreKindergarten, students engage in tactile activities designed to stimulate their curiosity and build a very personal understanding of concepts. Far from the spoon fed teacher dictation of algorithms, our students are building their own web of mathematical numeracy. Through the years, the material becomes more abstract, but the thinking behind the ideas remains a central focus.  Problem solving is at the heart of the math program at CRS, and we have also outlined a scope and sequence for teaching specific skills each year.  These skills are essential in the students’ ability to think and solve problems at higher and higher levels.
