Students will utilize a brand new math program, Envisions 2 which will deepen our conceptual understanding of mathematics. The Envisions program will be supplemented with various resources such as Exemplars and problems of the week. Each student will be required to complete math projects. These projects will not only enable students to synthesize and apply concepts taught during the unit, but will also increase mathematical reasoning and critical thinking skills. Students will be expected to apply strategies and concepts taught to the real world around them. In addition, students will be required to reflect upon their learning in their math notebooks.
