Mathematics - Kindergarten

District Course #008

Course Description

The elementary mathematics curriculum of the Boise School District will be vibrant, challenging, and child centered. With consideration for children's needs and their development, the followings NCTM strands, which are of equal importance, will comprise the elementary mathematics curriculum: (1) Numbers and Numeration, (2) Organizing and Interpreting Data, (3) Problem Solving, (4) Measurement, (5) Geometry, (6) Technology, and (7) Algebra - the language of mathematics. However, instruction will be structured as a spiral of strands to insure that children will experience mathematics as a unified whole rather than as a set of disjointed, unrelated parts. In particular, problem-solving and technology should serve to integrate the curriculum across the strands and among other disciplines.

Meaning and understanding of mathematics rests upon the foundation of mathematical concepts developed through experience with concrete manipulatives. It is recommended that manipulatives be used as often as possible. Concepts and skills should not be taught in isolation. Both are built on students' past knowledge through meaningful examples and experiences, and students should be provided ample opportunities to apply them to practical, real-life situations.
