Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Solve mathematical problems with confidence, persistence, and openness to alternative approaches. Use malipulacties to solve problems and explain mathematical concepts. Use triangle congruency and similarity including the Pythagorean theorem to solve problems. Use and explain multiple algorithms for arithmetic computations with fractions and whole numbers. Collaborate to solve mathematical problems. Communicate mathematical concepts and algorithms in a variety of ways written, verbal, and by demonstration. Identify geometric shapes and the appropriate formulas necessary to solve problems.
