4. Structure of the class Study Teams
During this course your child will collaborate with other students as a member of a study team.
Together, each team will complete problems and activities that will help them discover new mathematical ideas and methods. This is a very student-centered class.
I will support your children as they work, but will not take away their opportunity to think and investigate for themselves.
In order to be successful in this class your child will need to be a willing and active participant as they develop their mathematical understanding.
