Geometry is introduced with the idea that several points make a line, several lines make a surface, and several surfaces put together make a solid. Basic geometric ideas lead to the concepts of similarity, equivalency, congruency, perimeter, circumference area, surface area, volume, and understanding the Pythagorean theorem.
Cultural Arts (Science and Social Studies) is divided into four subject areas: History, Geography, Botany, and Zoology.
History deals with the development of man’s basic needs: food, shelter, clothing, and others—from primitive to modern times. It also introduces the beginnings of the Earth and the evolution of life until man appeared. The history of man continues with the study of the great civilizations that flourished around the world.
Geography deals with the structure of the Earth—land, water, and air—that envelopes it. It also shows how the Earth was formed before life existed. Science experiments reinforce the concepts. The seven continents of the world and the different countries, culture, language, government, politics, and others are also explored.
Botany and Zoology focus on the two kingdoms of living things: the Plant and Animal Kingdoms. The Plant Kingdom is explored through a detailed study of the vegetative parts of plants (seeds, roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits), which enables the child to understand its functions and its internal processes.
The Animal Kingdom, on the other hand, is presented to the child through the Taxonomy charts that show the classification of vertebrates and invertebrates. The study of the external and internal parts of animals is reinforced by a variety of experimental activities.
Special Subjects
Character Education, Physical Education, Scouting, and Music and Arts are present in both the Primary and Intermediate levels. Agriculture and Home Arts are additional subjects in the Intermediate level.
