MATHEMATICS AT BIS
Mathematics instruction at BIS focuses on preparing students to be effective thinkers, while enabling them to communicate their ideas mathematically. Students learn to use numbers and recognize patterns in the world around them through understanding, investigating, communicating and reflecting their knowledge and processes of logic and reasoning. The curriculum strives to give students effective thinking and problem solving skills necessary for estimating and computing, the skills needed for articulate and logical expression, and the writing skills needed for fluent written expression of conceptual understanding.
The aims of teaching and learning mathematics are to encourage and enable students to:
