Carden Method Mathematics Curriculum Model

A firm mastery of the language of numbers is transferred to the student from the very beginning with this curruculum model. Children develop a fine concept of numbers and acquire ability to express number concepts and number relationships in words. The Carden teaching technique strives for self-reliance on the part of every student. Each child should understand and apply that which the teacher explains. Children learn to use arithmetic intelligently. Students should not feel that arithmetic is a game of chance played according to some rules of thumb.

Therefore, The Language of Numbers series of workbooks and teacher’s texts strives to convey understanding of the language of numbers, fluency of expression and accuracy of thought to Carden students. The children come to understand the concepts of our number system, practice basic skills and problem solving. Contemporary mathematics is taught as well as the metric system.
