Department – Philosophy (Mathematics Dept. Philosophy) Mathematical abilities enable one to think and reason logically, sequentially, and algorithmically. Students must be able to solve, understand, and express mathematical, algebraic, and geometric concepts; in independent written assignments, as well as meaningfully participate in classroom and cooperative-learning tasks. Students are expected to listen, record effectively, inquire, offer solutions, organize, evaluate, and apply information. Mathematics is progressive and integrative as skills in numerical operations, algebra, geometry, and data analysis must be interwoven to develop critical thinking and application to open-ended situations, the perspective job-place and other real-life phenomena. The ability to acquire math knowledge via Internet research or effective use of technology is equally important to thinking, reasoning, expressing, and applying mathematics to everyday life. Mathematics is more than the exclusive acquisition of numerical, algebraic, or geometric problem-solving skills. It is also the ability to recognize that there are various acceptable ways of representing one’s solution using a combination of some or all of these acquired skills in open-ended situations, and be able to use technological resources to achieve those purposes. Math educators must be willing and able to engage students with different learning styles through the use of various pedagogical methods of presenting the material. By welcoming students with different intelligence strengths, teachers may enhance the learning process by varying the types of classroom tasks for students to solve problem-situations. Students should be given the opportunity to express what they’ve learned in a variety of formats: for example; knowing, comprehending, writing, speaking, applying through sketching, modeling, role-playing, constructing, designing, organizing, analyzing, synthesizing, creating, and evaluating. Common Core Curriculum Standards for Mathematics describe the mathematical experience needed for students to grow intellectually, socially, and emotionally in classrooms across the curriculum. The standards are intended to promote students’ capacities to construct meaning in any arena, with others as well as on their own. If students learn to simply, solve, sketch, explain, apply, evaluate and analyze critically, and if they learn to use these mathematical concepts dependently and independently, they will develop the mathematical skills they need to solve personal and shared problem-situations throughout their lives.
