MATHEMATICS

ACCELERATED JUNIOR PROGRAM GRADES 1-5

At Wishing Well Schools, we incorporate traditional math as a foundational pillar in our accelerated Ontario curriculum in Grades 1-8. We emphasize mastery of core algorithms and procedures through structured instruction, repetition, and drills, ensuring students develop strong computational fluency and accuracy. By following a logical progression, students first learn key mathematical methods before applying them to increasingly complex, real-world problems. This structured approach builds confidence, problem-solving skills, and long-term retention. We extend this approach to computer science and coding, where students first learn fundamental programming concepts and algorithms before applying them to projects, AI development, and problem-solving tasks. This ensures a strong technical foundation while fostering logical thinking and innovation. While we integrate STEAM and project-based learning, we recognize the importance of procedural mastery as a stepping stone to higher-level mathematical reasoning, computational thinking, and real-world applications.

HIGH SCHOOL PREPARATORY PROGRAM GRADES 6-8

At Wishing Well Schools, our Grade 6-8 High School Preparatory Math Program develops advanced problem-solving skills through algebra, geometry, measurement, data management, and proportional reasoning. Students engage in complex mathematical modeling, analyzing relationships between variables, and applying concepts to real-world scenarios. Financial literacy is a key component of our program, equipping students with essential skills in budgeting, interest calculations, investments, and responsible financial decision-making. Students also explore the stock market, learning about market trends, risk assessment, and portfolio management, gaining hands-on experience in economic principles and investment strategies. With a focus on computational fluency and abstract reasoning, students refine their ability to interpret data, evaluate statistical models, and apply mathematical principles to both theoretical and practical problems. This rigorous and structured approach ensures students transition seamlessly into high school mathematics, equipped with the analytical skills necessary for success in advanced academic pathways, including STEM, AP, and IB programs.
