Numeracy
The experience of becoming numerate includes the satisfaction of being able to use mathematics and statistics to understand the world, the joy in using mathematical and critical thinking to improve the lives of others, and the experience of mathematics as a creative and empowering discipline.
Anchoring students' learning to hands-on, real-world, and observable phenomena helps them to develop increasingly complex ways of thinking about mathematical ideas.
In SD72, we use authentic and experiential contexts to interweave competencies, content, and culture.
Classroom culture and environment shape students' perceptions of themselves as learners and how they engage with math.
There are many interconnected aspects of a learners' experience in our schools. Becoming numerate is a many-layered process that takes time and patience.
Mathematics is integral to every aspect of daily life. Mathematical skills are essential for solving problems in most areas of life and are part of human history.
