Does mathematics in the elementary and middle grades provide a firm foundation for high school mathematics?
Anytime a student is involved in a program that helps them understand mathematical concepts, become proficient problem solvers, learn to reason mathematically, and communicate their mathematical thinking they benefit. Mathematics instruction at all educational levels is shifting to include building greater understanding of underlying concepts in mathematics. The AISD K-8 mathematics curriculum is designed to build conceptual understanding of mathematics and application of mathematical skills which provide a strong foundation for high school and college mathematics.
