overview
The Northern Math Department strives to support and challenge all students to be independent learners, critical thinkers, problem solvers, and to foster a lifelong love of mathematics.
The secondary curriculum adopts a strong focus on the processes that best enable students to understand mathematical concepts and learn related skills. Attention to the mathematical processes is considered to be essential to a balanced mathematics program. The seven mathematical processes identified in this curriculum are problem solving, reasoning and proving, reflecting, selecting tools and computational strategies, connecting, representing, and communicating. The mathematical processes apply to student learning in all areas of a mathematics course.
