Mathematics: Secondary

MPS MATH DEPARTMENT PHILOSOPHY

All students have the right to receive instruction in mathematical content necessary to be productive members of a changing society.  The expectation is that all students can and will learn math, and we support that vision with a curriculum designed to promote mathematical competence for all rather than to serve as a filter to identify an "elite" group of students who are allowed to study higher levels of mathematics.

The goals of mathematics instruction are to provide experiences that enable all students to:

• learn mathematics

• appreciate mathematics

• gain confidence in their mathematical ability

• become mathematical problem solvers

• communicate mathematically

• reason mathematically

• recognize mathematical connections
