Mathematics

Doris Gluck Math Coordinator

The mathematics curriculum at Friends School Haverford is based on the National Council of Teachers of Math Standards (2001). Sense making and thinking are core to all aspects of the curriculum. Students explore real world topics, solve problems, investigate space and time, practice computation and communicate their thinking through discussion and writing. They work cooperatively and independently on tasks based on their own developmental levels. Calculators and computers are used in all grade levels from K-6.

Friends School Haverford uses Math Trailblazers (published by Kendall/Hunt) as their main resource for math instruction in grades Kindergarten through 5. Sixth grade uses Connected Math (published by Prentice Hall).
