Mathematical Practices • Make sense of problems & persevere in solving them • Reason abstractly & quantitatively • Construct viable arguments & critique the reasoning of others • Model with mathematics • Use appropriate toolsstrategically • Attend to precision • Look for & make use of structure • Look for & express regularity in repeated reasoning

  13. SHMS Math Mission Statement The mission of the SHMS mathematics program is to: • Inspire intellectual curiosity and aesthetic appreciation of mathematics as a body of knowledge • Promote critical thinking and problem solving skills to solve real world problems • Develop computational fluency and understanding of mathematical algorithms in order to apply known facts to unknown situations • Encourage students to be active participants in a life-long learning process as independent thinkers
