We are using the Scott Foresman math program. This curriculum is standards based and it presents math concepts, sequentially, from kindergarten through sixth grade. There are nine academic components to our math program: Addition and Subtraction Strategies, Money, Time, Patterns and Numbers to 1,000, Measurement, Geometry (Plane and Solid Shapes), Fractions and Probability, Multiplication, and Division.
