Math is more than memorizing formulas and doing calculations. Math involves:

• Highly practical and hands-on problems and skills
• Rich problem-solving activities in collaboration with your peers
• Some problems that will stretch your understanding to the abstract and theoretical
• Using technology to develop, demonstrate and communicate your mathematical understandings
