Your child will take a pre-test each Monday, and if they receive a 100, they will not be required to take the final test on Friday!

Students will also learn about the following: addition/subtraction, five and ten relationships, counting number patterns, place value, ordering numbers, money, geometry, fractions, measurement and data. Students have lots of hands-on time during math with manipulatives, student-led teaching, math groups, fun Friday, and math games.
