We at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School would like to encourage students to explore Mathematics in a global context in order to assist them in their journey to becoming lifelong Mathematicians and Thinkers.
We encourage you to contact your teacher with questions, and as we continue through this journey together, we will update FAQ's and Answers here.
