Primary mathematics uses a concrete – pictorial – abstract approach, and emphasizes mental math and model drawing. The rigorous curriculum is designed to offer density of mathematical content in a clear, logical progression that provides for a balance of content and ample opportunity to support the development and application of skills and problem solving strategies.
