Philosophy
Problem solving is the central focus of mathematics education, therefore an attitude of persistence must be developed in our students so they can solve the complex problems, which are common.
- Students will be taught reasoning strategies to make, test, and evaluate mathematical statements and to justify steps in mathematical procedures.
- Students will have frequent opportunities to apply their mathematical skills in real life situations.
- Students will develop a strong personal confidence in their ability to do mathematics.
