The Philosophy/Rationale of Mathematics

It is the purpose of Doniphan R-1 Mathematics Curriculum to strive to teach all students in a way that they realize the usefulness of mathematics and how they can apply it to their everyday lives.

The objectives for the Doniphan R-1 math curriculum are for students to become problem solvers, communicators, and reasoners so they can value math and be confident in their mathematical capabilities.  The mathematics curriculum moves students from manipulation objects to symbols and finally into ideas.

Doniphan R-1 Believes math is a unique communications system that focuses on the following goals: allowing students to become accurate problem solvers, teaching students to communicate mathematically as a natural act, helping learn to reason mathematically, and encouraging students to value math and become confident of their own math ability.
