At Premier Charter School, we believe that all students are mathematicians who can understand a given challenge, develop and apply a solution strategy, and reflect on both the solution they reach, and the process they used.  PCS mathematicians can solve problems alone or in collaboration with others.  During collaboration, PCS mathematicians communicate their ideas clearly and accurately, hear and work to understand the ideas of others, and evaluate both perspectives for reasonableness and viability.  In so doing, they come to find the joy and beauty of mathematics, are able to express their creativity, and can make connections to the real world.
