Math Trailblazers is a complete, research-based, National Science Foundation-funded K-5 mathematics program integrating math, science, and language arts.
This standards-based program is based on the belief that children learn best when engaged in problem-solving exercises that utilize real-world contexts.

A Balanced Mathematics Program
• Conceptual understanding and procedural skills
• Hands-on activities and paper and pencil tasks
• A rich variety of both formal and informal assessment opportunities
• Whole-class instruction, small-group activities, and individual work

Integrating Science and Language Arts
Science is utilized as a context to learn math:
• Takes advantage of children's natural curiosity with science
• Teaches students the processes used by scientists as effective problem-solving tools

Language Arts is utilized to increase student understanding:
• Students become better, more confident learners and stronger communicators as they document solutions and discuss and defend strategies.
• Trade books and original stories are used to launch or extend mathematical investigations.
