Vision: Success-Oriented Growth By creating and presenting a differentiated and challenging curriculum, we serve the mathematical growth of each student. Our students acquire core mathematical content in a comfortable, success-oriented environment. In the process, they also develop problem solving, communication, and interpersonal skills. As a result, they become enthusiastic, independent, self-motivated learners. Student Goals Students will: · Demonstrate knowledge of the goals outlined in the NCTM Principles and Standards · Become flexible problem solvers while working with engaging and challenging mathematical problems · Utilize technology to enhance learning and problem solving · Develop into independent, life-long learners with appropriately high expectations Unit Topics JK - number recognition
