Mathematics is more than just numbers – it’s a critical discipline that builds logical thinking, problem-solving skills, and real-world reasoning. A strong foundation in math helps students become confident learners, capable of analyzing data, making sound decisions, and pursuing opportunities in STEM and beyond.
At Discovery Academy of Science, our math curriculum is designed to develop deep understanding, fluency, and confidence in every student.
Core Curriculum:
Elementary (K-5): Go Math emphasizes conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and real-world application. Lessons are hands-on, encouraging students to explore mathematical ideas through visual models and interactive tasks.
Middle School (6-8): Illustrative Mathematics provides inquiry-based lessons aligned with Florida Standards. Students strengthen their foundational skills through collaborative problem-solving and mathematical reasoning.
Accelerated Math Pathways:
For students ready to move beyond grade-level expectations, we offer opportunities to take high school-level math courses, including Algebra I and Geometry. These courses allow students to earn high school credit while still in middle school, giving them a strong academic head start and preparing them for more advanced coursework in high school and college.
Through a blend of proven curriculum, differentiated support, and enrichment opportunities, our math program equips all students to meet and exceed their academic goals.
One of the major requirements is to help students learn how to learn – to have critical thinking and communication skills necessary for success in the world of tomorrow.
