Everyday Mathematics is a comprehensive Pre-Kindergarten through
sixth grade mathematics curriculum embracing many of the traditional
goals of school mathematics as well as two ambitious goals for the 21st
century:
To substantially raise expectations regarding the amount and range of mathematics that children can learn;
To support educators and children with the materials necessary to enable the children to meet these higher expectations.
Everyday
Mathematics was developed by the University of Chicago School
Mathematics Project based on research about how students learn and
develop mathematical power. The Everyday Mathematics program is a
problem-solving approach based on everyday situations that build on
student interest and connect to their experiences. An important piece to
the Everyday Mathematics program is the spiral approach that revisits
concepts regularly. Mastery is developed over time. Lessons are based on
activities and discussions. Students are encouraged to solve problems
in multiple ways, creating flexibility of thinking. There is frequent
practice of basic skills, often through mathematical games, but the
focus is on understanding the concepts behind the basic facts, as well
as mastery of the facts. Students receive instruction in all major areas
of mathematics: number sense, data analysis, geometry, measurement,
algebra, and probability.
