Our Approach
The goal of our mathematics program is to provide our students with the skills and knowledge, they will need to succeed in college and beyond. We seek to inspire our students to pursue advanced math courses and provide them with the foundation needed to be successful in advanced math studies.
Our math curriculum is rooted in the following core beliefs about quality math instruction.
Content-Rich Tasks
The students learn the best when they solve problems that spark their curiosity, require them to make connections between concepts and real-world scenarios.
Conceptual Understanding
We believe that knowing “how” to compute a problem is not enough; students must also know “why” mathematical procedures and concepts exist
Fluency of Math Vocabulary
It is important to train students in creating fluency of math vocabulary to create math sentence from the math word problems
Communicating Mathematical Understanding
We believe that the process of communicating their mathematical thinking helps students solidify their learning and helps teachers assess student understanding
Practice and Feedback
We believe that practice and feedback are essential to developing students’ conceptual understanding and fluency. Hence daily practice is essential for mastery of concepts
Grade 8 Math
This course is designed to provide students with the continued opportunity to develop a final understanding of algebraic concepts which prepares the student for Algebra I. Emphasis is placed on solving algebraic equations, and understanding linear, exponential, quadratic relationships through tables, graphs, and equations. The course also focuses on foundational geometric topics such as surface area and volume, Pythagorean theorem, 2D and 3D shapes, object transformations, similar figures, and ending with personal financial literacy. The students complete the course through live instruction and challenging real-world problems. The class includes concept instruction, practice, homework review and homework assignments
