This year, our class will be learning about:
|
This year our class will engage many fascinating aspects of math and
everything else! My desire is for each student to really "mess around"
with math so that they better see how and why things work. |
| We will explore the interconnections among types of
ideas. My goal is that students will see that nothing happens in our
life in isolation. The students will actively explore situations and
discover relationships and connections for themselves (with a bit of
guidance!) |
| I want to challenge your child.
Challenges are often frustrating. By learning how to handle frustration
and confusion now in a safe setting, they will know how to handle challenging
situations later in their lives. |
