- COURSE SUMMARY
Inca Math is organized around focal points as suggested by NCTM and the content standards of the state of California. Students investigate problems from a variety of content strands including: numbers and operations, fractions, algebra, geometry, data and probability. Content is differentiated to accommodate prior knowledge and multiple learning styles.
- COURSE SUMMARY
The Bridges middle school curriculum is organized around major focal points at each grade level (7-8) as suggested by the National Council for Teachers for Mathematics “NCTM” (Mirra, 2009). Instruction makes explicit the “big ideas” in each “content” strand (NUMBER AND OPERATIONS, ALGEBRA, GEOMETRY, MEASUREMENT, AND DATA AND PROBABILITY) which inform the intuitive basis for employing various mathematical skills in a variety of authentic contexts and across disciplines. Students demonstrate their mastery through the mathematical “processes” of problem solving, reasoning, communication, making connections, and designing and analyzing representations (NCTM, 2000).
In Aztec Math the curriculum is organized around major focal points with a focus on "big ideas" as suggested by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. It is a project-based curriculum with a content-based individual project within each curricular unit.The focal points are:
1. Numbers and Operations
2. Introducing Algebra
3. Fractions, Percentages, and Decimals
4.Geometry
5. Probability
6. Data Analysis
