Mathematics is not just a collection of skills, but rather a way of
thinking. Counting, measuring, and computing are observable behaviors
that evolve from this system or related ideas and concepts. These
behaviors become more useful to students when they are developed based
on conceptual understanding. Students who understand the underlying
concepts are more likely to transfer these behaviors to new learning
and real-world situations.
We believe that the study of mathematics must help
students to develop:
*A conceptual
understanding of the interrelated ideas, concepts, principles, skills,
and the logic of mathematical thinking;
*The ability to discover
and classify patterns;
*The ability to compute
accurately and efficiently;
*Competence in estimation
and in judging and reasonableness of answers;
*Facility in the use of
calculator and computer technology;
*An appreciation of the
power of mathematics; and
*Positive attitudes
towards mathematics and appropriate, productive beliefs about the
learning of mathematics.
The student who has internalized these fundamental
understandings and abilities and developed positive attitudes will
apply mathematics competently and confidently in school and real-life
situations. The Prentice Hall Connected Mathematics Program is the
series utilized to afford students practice opportunities in the
above.
