Students will understand mathematics and become mathematically confident by communicating and reasoning mathematically, by applying mathematics in real-world settings, and by solving problems through the integrated study of number systems, geometry, algebra, data analysis, probability, and trigonometry.

Elementary (E), Intermediate (I) and Commencement (C)

Mathematical Reasoning

Students use mathematical reasoning to analyze mathematical situations, make conjectures gather evidence, and construct an argument.

Number and Numeration

Students use number sense and numeration to develop an understanding of multiple uses of numbers in the real world, the use of numbers to communicate Mathematically, and the use of numbers in the development of Mathematical ideas.

Operations

Students use mathematical operations and relationships among them to understand mathematics.

Modeling/Multiple Representation

Students use mathematical modeling/ multiple representation to provide a means of presenting, interpreting, communicating, and connecting mathematical information and relationships.

Measurement

Students use measurement in both metric and English measure to provide a major link between the abstractions of mathematics and the real world in order to describe and compare objects and data.

Uncertainty

Students use ideas of uncertainty to illustrate that mathematics involves more than exactness when dealing with everyday situations.

Patterns/ Functions

Students use patterns and functions to develop mathematical power, appreciate the true beauty of mathematics, and construct generalizations that describe patterns simply and efficiently.
