6. Building Mathematical Thinkers
The curriculum focuses on developing students’ deep understandings of mathematical concepts, proficiency with key skills, and ability to solve complex and novel problems. Bridges blends direct instruction, structured investigation, and open exploration. Seeing, touching, and sketching ideas create pictures in the mind’s eye, helping learners construct, understand, and apply mathematical ideas. Bridges incorporates increasingly complex visual models, including the Number Line and the Array models, in a coherent framework across the curriculum.

7. Workouts for math fluency
Workouts for math fluency. Activities designed to help students develop a deeper understanding of multi-digit multiplication and a developing understanding of division.
Bridges is a program that provides skills practice as well as supporting the development of broader mathematical concepts.
