Did you know? Waldorf math curriculum follows developmental stages for learning.
Waldorf math curriculum follows developmental stages for learning. The elementary grades are a time for students to play with numbers and develop a love of math. In 5th and 6th grades, students put to use the skills introduced earlier through fractions and long multiplication. In grades 7th and 8th the algebraic “real math” begins as students learn to think more abstractly—middle schooler’s thinking explodes as they learn to think more logically and critically, and engage deeply in problem solving.
