Elementary grades – 2nd – 5th

Maths Curriculum

At DAVMES, we go beyond just finding answers in math. We make math practical by incorporating everyday concepts like measurements, money, time, fractions, and decimals outside the classroom during playtime, shopping trips, field trips, and various projects. Our students apply mathematics to simplify and solve real-life problems. Understanding these foundational concepts equips them to tackle more complex academic math tasks like word problems and computations. In our Math Classroom, students of all levels will:

  • Solve problems with perseverance.
  • Think logically and quantitatively.
  • Construct sound arguments and evaluate others’ reasoning.
  • Apply math in different scenarios.
  • Use tools effectively.
  • Focus on accuracy
  • Identify and utilize patterns.
  • Find and describe patterns in reasoning.
We offer tailored warm-up activities and extra challenges to students based on their unique strengths and weaknesses. Moreover, we support and prepare our students to join various local and national math contests.
