Curriculum Detail

Mathematics

The mission of the Dawson Math Department is to cultivate learning environments and experiences in which all students, from every cultural and mathematical background, see themselves and each other as accepted and valued contributors to their collective development as mathematical thinkers. 

With high expectations of their students, our team of educators strives to facilitate collaborative classrooms where learners feel supported to take risks and work together in deepening their appreciation of diverse perspectives, expanding their creative problem-solving abilities, and gaining the confidence that they are capable of learning mathematics at a high level.
