Theseprocesses complement themathematical contentthatour studentsstudy.StudentsareencouragedtoengageinMathematicalThinkingandReasoning.Learningopportunitiesareprovidedthatchallengestudentsatalllevelsofunderstanding.

It is not the goal of aMathematics class to teachstudentstosolveeverytypeofproblemtheymightencounter. The teacher’s role is to give studentsopportunities todevelopa repertoireof strategiesthatwillhelpthemapplyandadaptwhattheyknowtosolveproblemsthatarenewtothem.

Aspartofthereasoningandproofprocess,studentsdevelop , sharpen & extend their Mathematicalreasoningskillsbyanalyzingtheirassertions,usingbothinductiveanddeductivereasoning.

Making connections is an important ingredientof mathematics in Grade 8. Students buildMathematicalknowledgeastheyseehowconceptsconnect to one another. They increase theirappreciationfortheimportanceofMathematicsastheyrealizehowMathematicsisconnectedtoothersubjectsandhowitisappliedintherealworld.

At Springdales Teaching in Math is student centricand students take responsibility for their learning. Itis common practice to see the students engrossedin their lessonswhile participating on anOnline quizusing Kahoot or answering critical thinking questionsonPadlet.

Flipped classes help them gain confidence in theirknowledgeandempowerthemtopresenttheirpointofviewthroughpresentationsandlivelydiscussionsanddebates concerning important fundamentals ofMath.These academic pursuits are further livened byMathbasedactivitiessuchastheMathsQuizandBingo.
