Our K-5 math curriculum is Everyday Math. The students each have their own math workbook to practice the skills they learn. Typically there is a whole group lesson, followed by guided practice with the teacher, and independent work. One great feature of this curriculum is Math Boxes. In every lesson, there is a workbook page with 6 boxes on it, and each box has a review problem for the students to complete. This is a great way to make sure students don't forget the skills they have learned previously. Everyday Math also uses a lot of games to practice math skills.
