The study of mathematics is a way to investigate and appreciate order in God’s creation. Using a wide variety of tools, teachers can guide students in developing a deep conceptual understanding in order to make sense of mathematics. Students will master the specific knowledge necessary for its application to real problems, for the study of related subject matter, and for continued study in mathematics. Students will learn and view mathematics as a way of thinking about and interpreting the wonders of creation.
