The
core skills taught in kindergarten through high school:
I. Basic Concepts: Foundational material taught in grades
K-2 that's essential for future learning. Topics include: number
recognition; counting; place value; measurement; and geometry.
II. Operations:
The memorization of mathematical operations. Here we ask questions
in different ways to challenge students to apply their understanding. Topics
include: addition; subtraction; multiplication; and division.
III. Application:
Problem solving. Here students learn to incorporate everything in
order to solve problems. Problems are presented in non-mathematical
ways (e.g. word problems). Students apply mental skills and logic to devise
strategies and solve problems.
