Collaborating as a dynamic team dedicated to creativity and risk-taking in our teaching, we engage students in true problem-solving, not simply the application of rote skills to complex problems, where technology becomes a tool for discovery and extension, not just a calculation device. We recognize thatwhen students tackle rich math tasks, ask insightful questions, take risks, practice core skills, and learn from mistakes, they build mathematical capacity, resilience, understanding, and mastery.

Moreover, we believe that teaching students how to learn and work collaboratively equips them with the tools to succeed in tomorrow’s world.
