The development of our networked curriculum begins with a careful analysis of the foundational knowledge required for each topic. In scrutinizing each topic's material, we are able to identify its pre-requisite topics the building blocks a child must complete before approaching this topic.

For example, before a child learns basic multiplication, he or she needs to have a good foundation in numbers and addition. These will help him or her grasp the underlying concept of multiplication, which is grouping objects together. Then, after a student gains proficiency in basic multiplication, it becomes a foundation block for other topics that require understanding of basic multiplication, such as division (where groups are broken down) and block graphs (where groups of numbers are represented pictorially).
