All QUEST Students
Stepping Stones Enrichment & A Math Fluency Program
The adopted math program which is used at Seven Bar Elementary is "Stepping Stones". All students in the QUEST program will be given some of the enrichment math concepts from this math program. This will support the math they are learning in their general education classes and provided them with opportunities to enrich their
mathematical experiences.
Each student will be given time to work on math fact fluency on the computer. Younger students will focus on addition and subtraction. Older students will build on their multiplication fluency. This will be individualized for each student. Parents will be contacted with their child's individualized program so that they may practice at home if they wish.
First Grade Math
Math Rules
A math program designed to meet the wide range of math abilities and interests of students in a gifted program.
This series offers enrichment for gifted students to complete individually or in small groups. Demanding word problems and computation challenges draw upon skills learned in the regular curriculum. Students learn, practice, share, and apply different problem-solving strategies.

Second Grade Math
Into the Unknown
An interactive math program that incorporates activities promoting algebraic thinking and reasoning.
The second grade QUEST students will:
•Investigate equations, variables, patterns and functions.
•Connect algebra skills with concrete materials through problem-solving situations.
•Write to explain their thinking.
•Become familiar with algebraic language and display mathematical relationships through symbols, diagrams,
tables, and graphs.

Third Grade Math
Hands on Equations
A math program which improves student achievement in mathematics by using manipulatives with classroom instruction; a powerful whole-brain instructional approach to learning algebra.
The Common Core Math Standards for Mathematical Practices seeks to have students conceptualize mathematics, rather than do mathematics by rote. Students are expected to observe mathematical structure and to reason and communicate mathematics.

Fifth Grade Math
Kahn Academy & Challenge Math for Gifted Students
Using technology to support the 5th grade math standards. Students will be given class time to review math concepts taught in the general education math class. Students will demonstrate their level of mastery to the instructor to determine their level of understanding of certain math concepts.
Students advanced in math will be provided with additional math challenges with the "Challenge Math for Gifted Students" program. This approach is dedicated to bringing high-quality math materials to students. I will offer innovative and standards-based supplemental resources to support the learning and appreciation of math.
