Mathematics

We are excited to introduce you to our Math STEAM program at AOE, where we breathe life into mathematics through concrete, hands-on experiences. Our goal is not just to teach math but to inspire a lifelong passion for it.

Progressive 1st Grade - Mathematics
Concrete Learning: We provide our students with tactile and engaging materials that make math both exciting and accessible, significantly increasing their chances of success.

Emphasis on Process: At AOE, we understand that the journey is just as important as the destination. We focus on the process of doing math, fostering an environment where students are encouraged to explore different methods and strategies, not just rush to the correct answer.

Iterative Learning: Our curriculum is carefully designed to introduce math concepts progressively and revisit them throughout the year. This iterative approach ensures that students achieve a robust and deep understanding of each topic.

Real-World Application: We show students the relevance of math by demonstrating how it can be applied to solve actual problems they may encounter outside the classroom.

We are committed to nurturing a generation of students who not only excel at math but also appreciate its beauty and utility in the world around them.

Everyday Mathematics

At AOE, our Math STEAM program enriches students’ understanding of mathematics by providing engaging and tactile learning experiences. The curriculum is designed to go beyond simply finding the right answers; it emphasizes the importance of the mathematical process itself.

Progressive 1st Grade - Everyday Mathematics
Throughout the academic year, mathematical concepts are introduced and then revisited, fostering a comprehensive grasp of each subject area.
Our teaching approach illustrates the practical application of mathematics in solving everyday problems, thus preparing students for real-life challenges. The Everyday Math curriculum is the cornerstone of our program, covering eight essential content strands:

Establishing Routines
Fact Strategies
Place Value and Measurement
Addition and Subtraction
Whole Number Operations and Number Stories
Whole Number Operations and Measurement and Data
Geometry and Arrays
Equal Shares and Whole Number Operations

With this robust curriculum, AOE is committed to nurturing a lifelong passion for math in our students, ensuring they are well-equipped for success in an increasingly quantitative world.
