Everyday Math

Our math curriculum is based on the instructional materials from Everyday Mathematics for Pre-K.  The activities are based around the typically developing child ranging from 3-5 years old.  Most of the activities are taught in a game-based way, so the children absolutely love it!  The activities are also being incorporated into learning centers. Content strands include numbers and numeration, operations and computation, measurement, geometry, patterns and functions.
