Overview

At KKFS, our Elementary School math program builds a strong foundation in number sense, operations, and problem-solving, aligned with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Students explore mathematical concepts through hands-on activities, visual models, and real-world applications, developing confidence and curiosity as young mathematicians. Emphasis is placed not only on mastering basic skills but also on cultivating perseverance, critical thinking, and a positive mindset toward learning math. By the end of Elementary School, students should be able to demonstrate mastery of the school’s SLOs in Math.

Critical Thinking

  • Solving multi-step problems by analyzing information and selecting appropriate strategies
  • Using reasoning to justify solutions and explain mathematical thinking

Technology

  • Using age-appropriate math apps, digital manipulatives, or interactive tools to explore and practice concepts
  • Learning how technology can help visualize and solve mathematical problems

Cultural Empathy

  • Exploring real-world math applications that connect to diverse cultures (e.g., patterns, architecture, currency)
  • Appreciating how mathematical ideas have developed across different civilizations

Communication

  • Explaining mathematical processes orally and in writing
  • Using math vocabulary accurately in discussions, presentations, and group work

Mindfulness

  • Developing persistence and focus during problem-solving tasks
  • Reflecting on mistakes as opportunities to learn and grow rather than failures

Creativity

  • Using multiple strategies to solve open-ended problems
  • Applying mathematical concepts to projects, games, and real-world challenges
