    Literacy

    Mathematics

    The goal of the U-46 Mathematics program is to give our students the skills and knowledge they need to think and reason mathematically, and to use what they have learned to solve problems. The need to understand and be able to use mathematics in everyday life and the workplace has never been greater and will continue to increase. Mathematical competence opens doors to productive futures. We believe that ALL students should have the opportunity and the support necessary to learn significant mathematics with depth and understanding.
