Math

The SFC math program strives to provide a solid foundation that prepares students for advanced computation, comprehension, and problem-solving in high school and beyond. Students deepen their understanding of the core mathematical concepts learned in primary grades (numbers and operations, geometry, measurement, and data analysis) and develop new strategies for algebraic thinking and problem-solving, working with ratios and proportions, and other topics. Learning math is an active process, and classes are built around a mix of real-world applications, hands-on learning projects, and guided lessons.

By the end of eighth grade, most SFC students who complete our math program in good standing will enter high school on an accelerated, college prep track.
