• Mathematics Philosophy
     
    The Mountain Brook Schools believe our curriculum
    will produce mathematically literate and empowered
    citizens for the 21st century. Students will use
    mathematics effectively and will have conceptual
    understanding along with mathematical proficiency.
    Specifically, in order to achieve mathematical literacy,
    we believe that students should:
     
    โ€ขDemonstrate number sense
     
    โ€ขDevelop numerical fluency with accuracy and
    precision
     
    โ€ขCommunicate mathematical thinking coherently and clearly, in both oral and written expression
     
    โ€ขShow understanding of how mathematical ideas interconnect and build upon one another to
    produce a coherent whole
     
    โ€ขRecognize and apply mathematics in relevant contexts beyond the mathematics classroom
     
    โ€ขBuild and apply mathematical knowledge through problem solving
     
    โ€ขMake and investigate mathematical conjectures and provide justifications and proofs
     
    โ€ขCreate and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas
     
    โ€ขUse mathematical modeling to interpret physical, social, and mathematical phenomena
