Math Curriculum

The Everyday Math program was implemented several years ago, and it has been very well-received. Students enjoy working with the program, learning new ways to answer and solve problems, and playing games to help strengthen their math skills.

Since our current students have been in this particular program since entering the Galloway Township Public Schools, they are typically familiar with its design and methods. Parents sometimes find the program difficult as it teaches alternate methods for solving problems that you may not be familiar with. I am happy to help and will send home any needed information to make this as painless as possible.

Extra Credit/Enrichment is offered throughout the year to those students interested. It is optional and can only help a student’s grade.
