Title

Scholars Online Mathematics Curriculum

Scholars Online Mathematics Sequence

Mr. Mabbott will be offering yearlong courses in high school mathematics, employing a series published by Key Press that he has used for many years. The Discovering Mathematics Series — Discovering Algebra, Discovering Geometry and Discovering Advanced Algebra Thru Data Exploration — is a complete and comprehensive curriculum. Advanced students who have already mastered algebra and geometry can work with Mr. Mabbott using a similar Pre-Calculus and Calculus series authored by Paul Foerster. A believer in making students accountable for their own education, Mr. Mabbott supports the mathematics standards of both the NCTM and Washington State.

For Mr. Mabbott’s students, learning happens by doing — by doing problems, by building models, by creating models — virtually or actually. Hands-on exploration of the many areas of the various curricula is one of the primary ways in which students learn and learn well.  They will be challenged and encouraged to go beyond the computational answer to a deeper conceptual understanding.  Know that their answer is correct is not enough.  Knowing that the answer is correct is important; knowing why it is correct is the key that enables students to construct their own core knowledge base and develop their own deep understanding.

Mr. Mabbott believes in using all forms of technology to support learning and recommends that students enrolled any of the college preparatory courses use a graphing calculator.  The instructor will be using and supporting the TI-84+ silver edition. The Geometry class will use The Geometer’s Sketchpad and we may use Tinkerplots and Fatholm.
