What will we study?

All of our Units and Lessons will be tied into the Massachusetts Mathematics Curriculum Framework. We will use a wide variety of resources in addition to the MathScape Curriculum. The lessons will apply the math Learning Standards to real-life situations involving math and science that students can connect with. My intention is threefold: to create mathematically literate citizens who can handle the essential math we need to conduct our lives; prepare students for high school and a variety of professions; and develop curiosity, excitment and fun in studying math and science.
