Students apply mathematical ways of thinking to real-world issues to solve complex math problems. They are also challenged to learn how to apply mathematical knowledge to a variety of settings, collaborate with others to complete tasks, and communicate effectively using the language of mathematics. Through exposure to rigorous math content, students begin developing the critical thinking skills needed to analyze, solve, and explain complex problems. The application of mathematical thinking to real-world situations helps our students gain the skills that will later help them succeed in higher level mathematics.
