Math Classes:

Mathematics is used extensively in business; the life, natural and physical sciences; the social sciences; and in the fine arts. Medicine, architecture, engineering, the industrial arts and a multitude of occupations are also dependent on mathematics. Mathematics offers necessary tools and ways of thinking to unite the concepts, relationships and procedures common to these areas. Mathematics provides a language for expressing ideas across disciplines, while, at the same time, providing connections linking number and operation, measurement, geometry, data and algebra within mathematics itself.

Students must have experiences which require them to make such connections among mathematics and other disciplines. They will then see the power and utility that mathematics brings to expressing, understanding and solving problems in diverse settings beyond the classroom.

Below you will find resources and assignments for each unit of study.
