Grade Math Program
The 2nd Grade Math Program features the University of Chicago School
Mathematics Project's Everyday Mathematics. The UCSMP's Everyday
Mathematics Program is based on the belief that students need to
move beyond simple calculation and learn how to utilize higher-level
thinking processes while applying math to "real-world" situations.
The Math Program features an assessment at the end of each unit

evaluated a student's progress in the completed unit. In September,
