K-4 Mathematics
The New Canaan Public Schools K-12 mathematics curriculum is designed to offer students the opportunity to explore, engage and take risks with content as they build and expand their knowledge and understanding of math. Classroom instruction includes cognitively appropriate strategies and resources to meet the needs of all learners. Our students develop their skills and abilities in the areas of critical thinking and problem solving. They apply this knowledge to real world scenarios with attention to fluency and precision.
As teachers, we believe all students can excel in math and we are dedicated to showing our students they can also have fun with it!
