Mathematics
Middle School mathematics classes introduce concepts and topics through a problem solving approach. Students are asked to explain and justify their reasoning in written form and through oral explanation - either individually or in a collaborative effort. The goal is to have students connect the skills and topics to real world challenges while building their problem solving stamina. The mathematical practice standards (make sense of problems and persevere in solving them, reason abstractly and quantitatively, construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others, model with mathematics, use appropriate tools strategically, attend to precision, look for and make use of structure, and look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning) provide a framework for how Middle School teachers develop activities and incorporate technology such as the Desmos graphing calculator and Seesaw into lessons.
