The Big Idea
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!)..
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.
