Math Grade 7
This class will be dedicated to assisting students in not only solving the math problems themselves but also the process and steps necessary to successfully solve math problems and the skills needed to solve complex problems. This will teach students that the process itself of math is just as important as finding the correct answers. Students will learn independent thinking and be given every opportunity to explore their interests through different math problems, giving them the chance to connect math to everyday situations.
