MATHEMATICS

Course Length:  2 Semesters

Math is offered with the needs of every pupil in mind.  Mathematics is concerned with numbers, with ways of representing them, and with ways of operating upon them.  Our system for using numbers is a decimal system where each number has both digital and positional value.  The way of thinking with numbers reflects the law of the operations we perform.

The major reasons for studying mathematics include:
 

• To guide pupils in discovering the meaning, order, and logic of our decimal number system.
• To build a clear understanding of the operations.
• To develop problem solving ability.
• To develop skills for effective mental and written computations.
• To encourage growth of desirable attitudes and work habits in mathematics.
