What do we believe about Math learning and teaching in MPS?
Mathematics is about thinking, reasoning and recognizing patterns
and relationships. All students pass through similar stages of
development as they learn to understand number. Mathematics is not
something you are born good or bad at. Effort and hard work create
ability and understanding. In order to be successful in mathematics
students need to think relationally rather than operationally.
Efficiency and recall come from thinking relationally, NOT
memorization and one size fits all procedure. Emphasizing the
basics with struggling students will not allow them to be
successful on on the MCA or in Middle or High School mathematics
courses.

Minnesota State Standards State standards are approved by the
Minnesota Legislature and they are the guide for all math
instruction. The Minnesota K-12 Academic Standards in Mathematics
were revised in 2007, with full implementation by the 2010- 11
school year. They are scheduled to be revised in 2015-16. The
standards are grouped by strands: Number and Operation Algebra
Geometry and Measurement Data Analysis and Probability.
