Math - Eisenhower

It is important for all student to have the opportunity to gain as strong a preparation in mathematics as their ability will allow. The development of inquiry and problem-solving skills will provide students with the opportunity for maximum intellectual growth and an optimum range of career choices. The problem-solving approach to learning not only provides a natural setting for consideration of topics from business, industry, and other vocationally oriented sources, but also serves as a primary vehicle for learning in all areas of educational development.

YSD students work to demonstrate proficiency in mathematical concepts and practices. Students engage in the following mathematical practices as a way to build conceptual understanding of the content:

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
2. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
3. Reason abstractly and quantitatively
4. Model with mathematics
5. Attend to precision
6. Use appropriate tools strategically
7. Look for and make use of structure
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Students move from one course to the next, progressing through content standards while continually revisiting and engaging in the same eight mathematical practices.
