Del Mar Pines believes that mathematics education should focus students on discovering, discussing, and thinking in an analytical, deductive and logical manner.

From kindergarten, small (five to eight children), developmentally-appropriate groups are established, in which students receive up to 5 hours of weekly math instruction. The School employs no grade level barriers. Students who demonstrate expertise of current grade level math standards are advanced to a higher grade-level program.

Kindergarten students begin the mathematics process using manipulatives, discovering numbers and patterns, and progressing through place values, basic graphing and the solution of simple equations.
