Our Beliefs

At Kamehameha Elementary School we believe that learning is active and developmental. It involves a continuous cycle of exploration, investigation and application. It is multi disciplinary. Communication is an integral component of learning as it occurs in a social context. Learning enables people to make informed and responsible decisions about their lives.

Practices

Teachers facilitate effective thinking and development of problem solving strategies throughout the curriculum.

The focus of instruction is in concepts in number and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, problem solving, data analysis and probability or a combination of these depending upon the student’s needs. Lessons and activities are supported by math manipulatives and technology.

Students are assessed formally as well as informally. Assessments include standardized tests, observations, anecdotal notes, and students' own reflections.

Goals for Students

Children completing KES should have the basic learning skills in mathematics to:

-Be able to solve problems mathematically using appropriate basic concepts and accurate computation skills.

-Be able to think critically and creatively to make decisions, interpret experience, understand ideas and problem solve.

-Be able to independently plan, organize, and evaluate use of own time to accomplish goals.
