We believe in teaching and learning math by pursuing with equal intensity the three dimensions of rigor: conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and real world applications. We hope that as you understand why, how, and when to use mathematics, you will experience the boundless joy of a solid math education.
See math as an interconnected web of ideas rather than isolated facts and procedures
Apply knowledge flexibly to new situations never encountered before
Retain information longer because it's meaningfully connected to other concepts
Represent math problems in multiple ways (visually, symbolically, verbally)
Apply procedures efficiently, flexibly, and accurately
Transfer procedures to different problems and contexts
Build or modify procedures from other procedures
Recognize when one strategy or procedure is more appropriate to apply than another
Describe, explain, and predict phenomena in the world
