This course is an entry point for 1st grade students who are new to our program and approach. Our unique methodology serves these main goals: 1) spark an early interest and confidence in one’s mathematical abilities, 2) nurture the natural agility of young minds to explore challenging concepts, 3) lay the groundwork for higher-level reasoning and logical thinking, and 4) develop computational proficiency. Students develop proficiency in arithmetic operations and properties of numbers. They develop strategies to solve word problems. We introduce abstract mathematical concepts such as variables through exploration and play. Students use variables to write expressions and to work with equations. After completing this course, students continue to our Grade 2 Advanced Level.
