Program
World-Class Math Education Rooted in Clarity, Confidence, and Critical Thinking
At Carden Conejo, math is more than memorization or worksheets—it’s a dynamic process of thinking clearly, solving problems, and making connections. Our program is anchored in the proven Singapore Math approach, a globally recognized method known for building strong number sense, deep conceptual understanding, and exceptional problem-solving skills.
Math is taught daily by specialist teachers who guide students through hands-on activities, model drawing, mental math, and rich discussions that promote logical reasoning. Each lesson builds upon the last, helping students master concepts before moving forward and encouraging confidence at every stage.

How We Teach It
Our approach is active, visual, and language-rich. Students use concrete materials to build understanding, then represent their thinking with pictorial models before solving abstract equations. This CPA (Concrete → Pictorial → Abstract) method makes math accessible and engaging for all learners.
Teachers encourage students to talk through their problem-solving process, ask questions, and explain their reasoning. Mistakes are seen as learning opportunities. With consistent practice, reflection, and support, students build the mindset of a capable mathematician.
Outcomes
Carden Conejo students consistently demonstrate:
- Deep number sense and computational fluency
- Strong problem-solving strategies
