MATH MISSION

Mathematics can be found all around us. In this class students will work on making connections
between real world situations and mathematics. Students will utilize visual, contextual,
physical, symbolic and verbal representations. Students will further develop their ability to
justify and explain their reasoning with attention on the structure and essential features of
mathematical ideas. Students will use informational text, videos, and online resources to create
mathematical questions.
