  11. M ?

  12. mathematics • The science of patterns and relationships that provides an exact language for teaching science and engineering. • Abstract study of quantity, structure, space, and change.

  13. So what is it? All of that and then some…….. • Integrated Learning • Problem Solving • Innovative learning • Communications • Productive TEAMWORK • Decision Making • Problem-Based learning • QUAD D • Relevant Learning • 21st Century teaching and learning • Best Practice • Foundation of how and what we teach
