Everyday Mathematics is the research-based math curriculum model for all students K-5, and for grade 6 in 2008-2009.
Everyday Mathematics covers a broad range of mathematics content, not just numbers and arithmetic. Everyday Mathematics is designed to enable elementary-aged children to be lifelong mathematical thinkers.
Every strand within the program is addressed at an age and grade-appropriate level with major concepts presented five different times (and often in different ways) and two-year spans. This instructional strategy is referred to as the 'two-five rule." The Everyday Mathematics strands are as follows:
-
Numbers and Numeration
-
Operations and Computation
-
Patterns, Functions and Algebra
-
Geometry
-
Measurement and Reference Frames
-
Data and Chance
