We use Bridges in Mathematics as our math curriculum.
This program is made up of three components: Bridges Math lessons, Number Corner skill builders, and Work Places (math games).
Building Mathematical Thinkers
Inquiry-based and student-centered, Bridges focuses on developing mathematical reasoning while creating an inclusive and equitable learning community for all students. (See below for unit summaries.)
Number Corner is a skill-building program revolving around the classroom calendar.
It provides daily practice as well as continual encounters with broader mathematical concepts in 15–20 minutes of engaging instruction. Number Corner is an essential component of Bridges in Mathematics. (See below for monthly goals.)
Work Places provide skill practice and offer students a chance to develop autonomy and responsibility for their choices.
Young mathematicians invent, strategize, and learn to work effectively with others. (Links to online versions are below.)

Number Corner features short daily workouts that introduce, reinforce, and extend skills and concepts related to the critical areas of study at each grade level. New pieces are added to the display each day, providing starting points for discussions, problem solving, and short written exercises.
