Our math curriculum, Engage NY, is based on common core standards, as well as standards for mathematical practice. Students discuss and practice these standards throughout their years in school - and beyond!
Standards for Mathematical Practice
1. Mathematicians make sense of problems, persevere in solving them.
2. Mathematicians reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Mathematicians construct viable arguments and critique others.
4. Mathematicians model with mathematics.
5. Mathematicians use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Mathematicians attend to precision.
7. Mathematicians look for and make use of structure.
8. Mathematicians look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
Today was our first official math workshop - and what a thoughtful, inquisitive math community we already have! We are looking forward to seeing where our math journey takes us this year.
