Problem Solving

Problem Solving

Mathematics instructional programs should focus on solving problems as part of understanding mathematics so that all students

Build new mathematical knowledge through their work with problems

Develop a disposition to formulate, represent, abstract, and generalize in situations within and outside mathematics

Apply a wide variety of strategies to solve problems and adapt the strategies to new situations

Monitor and reflect on their mathematical thinking in solving problems

Please use the menu on the left to guide you to a wealth of standards based curriculum materials for Mathematics. The lessons are being developed by teams of teachers across the country working with the "Career Connection to Teaching with Technology" Challenge Grant.

Here are some sample activities developed by teachers and students at Mainland High School this past summer.
