In the Bellevue School District, we are dedicated to making mathematics meaningful-- built upon a foundation of common sense and consistency, and connected inextricably to the real world.  Through a balanced curriculum that promotes problem solving, conceptual understanding, and proficiency with procedural skills, students develop a robust understanding of mathematics and an enhanced ability to retrieve and apply it.

Current brain research has found that students develop new mathematical meaning by connecting rich classroom experiences to prior understanding and by reflecting on their thinking.  In the classroom, a problem's real world context provides a vehicle for understanding and remembering mathematical concepts.  This approach not only helps students to make sense of the mathematics, but also to process the mathematics in a retrievable way.  As students explore interesting mathematical situations, reflect on solution methods, compare methods, and examine why methods work, they build a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and an inherent understanding of why procedures work.  Students then communicate their thinking, reflect on their learning, and connect their newly developed mathematical ideas to their prior understanding.  

 

The study of mathematics is required of all students in the Bellevue School District.  In order to graduate, students must earn 3 high school credits in mathematics.  However, all students are encouraged to take math each and every year during high school and to finish at least Pre-calculus before graduating.
