Enduring Understandings
- important ideas that students should carry with them years beyond the
instruction received this year.
Mathematics is a tool
for communication. -
It is essential to be able to communicate the reasoning used to solve
problems.
-
Algebra is a universal
language and a way of
thinking.
-
Functions model the real world.
-
Discerning patterns is a way of understanding the world.
-
Life is a game of
chance.
-
Geometry builds our world.
-
Discerning patterns is a way of understanding the world and helps us to
make and test conjectures.
-
Units and precision matter.
-
Proportional reasoning solves real world problems.
-
Mathematics incorporates multiple problem solving strategies.
Essential Questions

In what ways can we use mathematical thinking to model real world
situations?
-
In what ways can
you represent a function?
-

reading?
-
How is algebra generalized arithmetic?
-
How does algebra help make more sense of geometry?
-
How can data be used to mislead/ manipulate people?
-
How can something change and stay the same?
