The elementary math units your child previews and the textbooks they use
Your child starts with the basics they can handle from the elementary school math units.
| Grade | Units |
|---|---|
| G1 | Numbers to 9, numbers to 50, numbers to 100, addition and subtraction, clocks, patterns, shapes |
| G2 | Three- and four-digit numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, measurement, sorting, patterns, time, graphs, shapes |
| G3 | The four operations, length, time, liquid volume, weight, fractions, decimals, data, 2D shapes, circles |
| G4 | Large numbers, patterns, multiplication, division, line graphs, adding and subtracting fractions and decimals, angles, moving shapes, triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons |
| G5 | Mixed operations, factors and multiples, simplifying fractions and common denominators, adding, subtracting, and multiplying fractions, multiplying decimals, number ranges, estimation, averages, likelihood, patterns, congruence, symmetry, perimeter, area, rectangular prisms |
| G6 | Dividing fractions and decimals, ratios and proportions, graphs, prisms, pyramids, volume, surface area, spatial reasoning, cylinders, cones, spheres |
Textbooks
Your child studies with textbooks such as Didimdol Eungyong (grades 1–6), a Korean applied math series, and McGraw-Hill Math (Grade 1–6). For children who are ahead, we sometimes recommend Choesangwi Suhak, a Korean advanced math series.
Hands-on concepts, then SCAT drills every class
Your child looks at and handles manipulatives and picture materials to learn numbers and shapes. Instructors explain with simple examples young children can follow.
We also share class results with you. See how parents get progress updates
SCAT prep classes your child can take next
The SCAT is a test students take when preparing for CTY gifted camps. The math in this class shows up in the SCAT's Quantitative (math) section. See SCAT Prep for G1–6
