elementary Mathematics
Grades 1-6
These foundational mathematics classes emphasize understanding of concepts through visualization and thinking strategies. Using the Singapore Math methodology, math skills are developed kinesthetically, visually, and then abstractly. Emphasis is placed more on developing a true understanding of mathematics over rote memorization of algorithms. Fostering a positive attitude toward mathematics is an important part of this program. Problem solving skills are the centerpiece of the LV math program. In all of our math courses, these skills are emphasized and taught at all ages. |
Class time emphasizes activities which are well suited to a group setting and professional teacher interactions.
