Math
Consistent with many high performing international private schools and public schools in the United States, ACS uses the Common Core Standards as the baseline learning objectives for K-10 instruction in Math and in English Language Arts.
Click on this link to learn more about the Common Core Standards.
Aligned to the Common Core Standards, the primary resource for Elementary Math instruction is the Everyday Math program. Click here for a parent overview.
Through Everyday Math, students are provided with daily instruction, practice, and additional challenges in a planned spiral of learning objectives that returns several times to each concept or process so it can be introduced, deepened, and internalized for students.

Want to practice some Math terms with your child?
Start by asking your child about the Math vocabulary from younger grades. Remember that these are "end-of-year" expectations, so your child may not have developed an understanding yet of all of the terms for their current grade level.
