Our math curriculum aims to build more than just surface-level understanding of formulas and operations. Our program equips learners with deep conceptual understanding of mathematical ideas, the ability to apply these concepts to abstract & real-world problems, and a strong math mindset that helps them see the value in persisting because they believe Math is useful.
Learners are placed into a small math group based on their math level. Each group works through a series of math missions throughout the year. To learn the concepts covered in the mission, learners complete daily practice using adaptive math technology, which has been proven in research to be more effective than traditional instruction alone. They participate in dynamic, interactive workshops where they can ask questions, share insights, and solve complex problems together, making learning both enjoyable and engaging.
At the end of each Zearn mission, learners tackle a Prisma mission checkpoint that asks them to apply the concepts they've learned to a real-world math problem. Math coaches give individualized feedback to determine if learners have achieved mastery.
In high school, learners complete performance tasks at the end of every ALEKS module that apply the math concepts a learner just mastered to a real-world context. All high school math courses include Honors options, and Prisma also offers advanced Maths, including AP Calculus.
Stuck or struggling? Our math coaches offer extra small-group support in workshops and office hours. And learners can switch math groups at any time if they find the content too challenging or not challenging enough for their needs.
