Students receive instruction in math in a replacement model. This means students are pulled from their math classrooms during math time in their regular classrooms to receive instruction by the Challenge teacher. The text used is Everyday Mathematics published by the University of Illinois. Students complete math a year above grade level and within each content area extension lessons are used to enhance and challenge students.
