Cherry Brook Primary School uses Everyday Mathematics. This program originated in 1983 from the research of The University of Chicago School Mathematics Project. In 2007, we implemented the revised version. Some of the key features of the Everyday Mathematics program include:
Problem solving for everyday situations
Developing readiness through hands-on activities
Establishing links between past experiences and explorations of new concepts
Sharing ideas through discussion
Cooperative learning through partner and small-group activities
Practice through games
Ongoing review throughout the year
Daily routines
Ongoing assessment
Home and school partnership
