About Us - Math Department

Our Vision

All students will make sense of rigorous mathematics in ways that are creative, interactive, and relevant in heterogeneous classrooms.

Our Premises

• All students are mathematically brilliant.       
• Math is web (not a ladder).

Our Guiding Principles:

Our work is driven by four guiding principles:

• All students can and should develop a belief that mathematics is sensible, worthwhile, and doable.       
• All students are capable of making sense of mathematics in ways that are creative, interactive, and relevant.
• All students can and should engage in rigorous mathematics through rich, challenging tasks.
• Students’ academic success in mathematics must not be predictable on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, language, religion, sexual orientation, cultural affiliation, or special needs.
