Units of Instruction

Mathematics is a way of understanding our world. Through the elementary math curriculum, we strive to infect students with excitement about mathematics as a tool for thinking, communicating and problem solving. Our goal is for students to see mathematics as relevant to real-life situations and to develop a lifelong understanding and appreciation of math that adapts to meet the demands of an increasingly technological world. Students learn to:

recognize the value and importance of mathematics in society;

solve problems mathematically;

communicate mathematically; and

reason mathematically by modeling, interpreting, patterning, verifying, justifying and drawing logical conclusions.

The mathematics content is organized into five areas as outlined by New York State: number sense and operations; algebra; geometry; measurement; and statistics and probability. More information
on the NYS Math Curriculum is available on the State Education Department Web site, www.nysed.gov.
