DESCRIPTION

Mathematics 3 is taught 70 minutes a day, five days a week.  This includes 15 minutes each day of  Arithmetic Developed Daily.  This is a daily, consistent maintenance program that contains mixed skills and a wide variety of computational and problem-solving challenges.  This program concentrates mainly on the following math concepts: expansion of the addition and subtraction process, introduction of the multiplication and division concepts through manipulatives.
