Mathematical Practices • To make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. • To reason abstractly and quantitatively. • To construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. • To model real world situations with mathematics. • To use appropriate tools strategically. • To attend to precision. • To look for and make use of structure. • To look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. • *To prepare your child for Honors Pre-Calculus.
Principles of the CPM Course Design • Problem-based lessons • Collaborative student work in structured study teams • Spaced learning-big ideas appear repeatedly and are interconnected throughout the course
Steps for Success • Preparation • Attendance • Participation • Independent practice • Collaboration • Communication
