Mathematics is a universal language that allows us to make sense of fundamental principles, thoughts, ideas, patterns, problems, and phenomena surrounding us and to communicate our understanding and resolutions of these concepts to others. In order to develop and enrich student understanding of mathematics, Fremont 14 will provide a comprehensive and cohesive mathematics curriculum in which mathematical topics are explored and analyzed with significant depth.

The environment in every mathematics classroom will provide the following:

• active and responsible engagement in the learning of mathematics,

• an atmosphere of risk taking,

• in-depth investigation and

  analysis of intriguing situations and problems,

• ample opportunities for reflection and interaction, and

• connections to everyday life.

Standards for Mathematics Practice

Students will develop the ability to:

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.

3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

4. Model with mathematics.

5. Use appropriate tools strategically.

6. Attend to precision.

7. Look for and make use of structure.

8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
