I. Authentic & Experiential Contexts

In SD72, we use authentic and experiential contexts in mathematics to interweave competencies, content, and culture.

Why?

    • For students to see, use, adapt, and create math in context
    • To increase engagement and build meaning
    • To promote math skills applicable to future needs (evolving for tomorrow)
    • To promote critical thinking skills and success in other subject areas
    • To help students see themselves as capable problem solvers
    • To provide a vehicle for understanding more abstract contexts
