The CTA schools follow an advanced curriculum at each grade level.  We use Saxon Math to teach, review and extend the students’ understanding of math concepts and to teach and strengthen arithmetic skills or fact knowledge. Saxon Math is structured to help students become more successful at math through structured, focused lessons.  Each lesson has built in fact practice, a review of the prior lesson, a review of earlier skills that need to be maintained, teaching of new material, guided practice on the new skill, and a homework assignment to practice new skills and maintain old ones.

 An important part of the CTA program is helping students to meet math fact mastery goals.  Being able to perform math facts efficiently and accurately is an integral component of a successful math program and is supported by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM).
