What is Everyday Mathematics?
Everyday Mathematics is a research-based curriculum that spirals through Grades K - 6, focusing on key concepts and skills at each grade level and deepening and extending those concepts and skills as they are revisited each year. The program emphasizes the "everyday" use of math, making connections to the world around us.
