Mathematics is a key focus area at Redeemer and is taught through a combination of stand-alone lessons and integrated learning experiences within our Units of Inquiry. Significant time is dedicated to the teaching of specific mathematical skills and thinking processes, as well as open-ended high-challenge and authentic learning experiences where students can apply and extend their knowledge.
We believe that best practice in mathematics teaching involves creating a positive learning environment, uses a variety of teaching strategies, focuses on conceptual understandings, encourages problem-solving, provides effective feedback, differentiates instruction through fluid groupings, engages learners and uses on-going feedforward assessment to guide instruction.
