District Overview

Number Sense:	Numbers and what we do with them help us make sense of our world. Knowing how to use numbers can help us solve problems.
Measurement:	Measurement gives us a way to answer "how many - how much - how far?" Knowing how to use measuring instruments helps us gain accurate information.
Algebra:	Algebra uses patterns and how patterns work to find solutions to everyday problems.
Geometry:	Geometry provides opportunities for problem solving using reasoning. Points, lines, planes, and space are used to understand the dimensions of our world.
Data Analysis:	Understanding and interpreting data grows more important each day. Probability, organization, variables, and patterns help us judge the reasonableness of our solutions.
