Students who complete our 1st Grade Advanced course continue to this level. Advanced level students develop their skills to proficiency and continue to strengthen their logic and reasoning abilities. We use a variety of tools to develop strategic and efficient methods to solve problems. Students learn to communicate their mathematical thinking to peers and to their teacher. The scope of topics includes multi-digit addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, an introduction to fractions, calculating the perimeter and area of geometric shapes, modeling with variables, and solving equations. After completing this course, students continue to our 3rd grade Advanced or Honors level, based on their teacher’s recommendation.
