This class develops mathematical and spatial reasoning, stimulates
curiosity and a love of learning math, takes away the “scariness” of
math, and makes the subject accessible to all students. It furthers
basic concepts and promotes higher-level concepts in math using
activities and explores the relationship between concepts in math and
their applications and uses in the real world. It integrates the logical
and analytical skills and ideas in math with artistic and spatial
skills and sparks interest in the kinds of issues mathematicians and
engineers deal with. This class has hands-on activities and includes
artwork, a history of the subject, and small research projects.
