Mission
The Dysart Unified School District Mission for the Mathematics Program’s mission is to provide each and every K-12 student a high quality K-12 mathematics experiences and tools for Career and College Readiness to be able to:
- Think clearly about complex problems
- Analyze a problem to develop workable solutions
- Be creative and innovative in solving problems
- Apply knowledge and skills in new settings
Math Scope and Sequences: Which are aligned to the The 2016 Arizona Mathematics Standards are:
- Focused in coherent progressions across grades K-12
- Aligned with college and workforce expectations.
- Inclusive of rigorous content and applications of knowledge through higher-order thinking.
- Research and evidence based.
Understanding in Mathematics: When a student understands a mathematical concept, they move fluidly between the concrete and abstract. There is evidence they are able to make sense of and justify mathematical connections. Evidence of understanding includes connections among:
- Verbal or written reasoning
- Pictorial representations
- Real-world application
- Procedures/Computation
Instructional Goals:
- Equity and excellence;
- The development of mathematical content through mathematical processes;
- Meaningful activity and discourse;
- Developmentally appropriate tasks; and
- The application of technology.
