K-12 Mathematics

ELEMENTARY
Math is all around us. We all use math many times a day. Numbers and shapes, measuring, and solving problems are all needed for simple tasks and games.
   Lower Elementary enjoyed finding fun math games like dice games and pegs in the park, reviewed addition, subtraction, and continued working in their Dimensions math books.
   In Middle Elementary, after a scavenger hunt focusing on earth day, the students worked on tallying and graphing. They also learned about fractions and measuring cups that may be used in any cooking or baking recipe.
   Upper Elementary, too, worked on lots of fractions, area, and perimeter and again, the emphasis was on how math is woven into daily tasks such as figuring out how much time until lunch, how many days until break, how could we make this box, estimations in animal facts, and so much more. Yes, math is all around us!

MIDDLE SCHOOL
Currently in Middle School, students are getting back into their academic routine following Spring Break. They have picked up where they left off with their independent assignments, and continue to show progress in work production week by week. Students have recently completed several group activities related to identifying and comparing fractions. This week they tested their knowledge of customary units of measurement alongside their fellow peers.

HIGH SCHOOL
Consumer Math students in High School continue to make impressive progress in their introductory Geometry content. They have been working as a class to complete various workbook exercises that require them to apply measurement knowledge acquired before the break. They have been able to convert ounces to pounds and pounds to ounces in order to answer word problems accurately.

High School Math is off to an exciting start to the end of the year. Geometry classes have been exploring triangle relationships and how they relate to other polygons. We will extend that knowledge to 3D solids using manipulatives soon. Pre-Algebra used a hands-on learning system to balance equations and will focus on equations with increasing complexity, such as using the distributive and associative properties and the absolute value. In Algebra 2, we are learning logarithms and exponential equations and will end by covering sequences and series, as well as trigonometric equations. Lastly, Statistics is beginning an in-depth study of spreadsheets and how to use computer technology to analyze and summarize data.
