The Wellesley Public Schools elementary mathematics program aims to foster student curiosity about and appreciation for mathematics as a discipline while developing deep understanding of math concepts, competence with math skills, and strength in reasoning and thinking like a mathematician. In elementary classrooms students are engaged in solving problems, explaining reasoning, justifying solutions, asking questions, looking for patterns, and communicating with others about mathematical ideas and strategies.
