Our Math curriculum
reflects the five goals set out by the state and the National Council of
Teachers of Mathematics: 1) to value mathematics, 2) to become confident in
carrying out mathematics, 3) to become successful problem solvers, 4) to learn
to communicate mathematically, and 5) to learn to reason mathematically.
In order to reach these goals, it is crucial that students are active and
consistent participants in their learning. They must engage in classroom
activities and complete all homework assignments.
Connected
Mathematics is our adopted curriculum. It includes activities, which teach
traditional computation and support the understanding of mathematical
principles. It allows ample opportunity for exploration, application and
communication.
