GLEN RIDGE PUBLIC SCHOOLS MATHEMATICS MISSION STATEMENT AND GOALS Mathematics and Computer Science are an integral part of our lives. Students must be actively involved in their mathematics education with problem solving being an essential part of the curriculum. The mathematics and computer science curricula should emphasize thinking skills through a balance of computation, intuition, common sense, logic, analysis and technology. Students will be engaged and challenged in a student-centered learning environment that is developmentally appropriate. Students will communicate mathematical ideas effectively by applying hands-on manipulatives, basic computational skills, mathematical models, and technology in order to solve practical problems.
