Marin Horizon’s math curriculum provides students with an exceptionally strong mathematical foundation ranging from developing number fluency in the lower grades to solving complex equations in the upper grades.
Challenges are viewed as learning opportunities, and students are guided to develop a growth mindset, learning from mistakes and developing the perseverance to seek solutions. Students are encouraged to find the joy in solving for the unknown as well as to make connections between concepts and see their application in the world around them. Through differentiated experiences, collaborative projects, and inspiring explorations, students emerge confident and enthusiastic math learners.
Marin Horizon's Upper School math program offers an "accelerated" option designed for math enthusiasts, where qualified students progress at a faster pace. These 7th and 8th grade students cover additional concepts from high-school, and typically place well entering High School.
