In Atlanta Public Schools, we aim to be a high-performing school district where students love to learn, educators inspire, families engage, and the community trusts the system.
All Atlanta Public School students will:
See mathematics as a connected discipline that helps them understand the world and critique new ideas.
Demonstrate that they are flexible and resourceful problem solvers by making meaning of the mathematics.
Challenge each other's thinking through reasoning and evidence-based critique.
Engage in productive struggle with grade-level aligned tasks that invite them to use their prior knowledge to build new understanding.
Demonstrate their mathematical understanding with peers and teachers, both orally and in writing, through grade-appropriate mathematical representations.
Exhibit a growth mindset by taking risks, seeking feedback from teachers and peers, and reflecting on both their successes and mistakes.
Collaborate with peers and build relationships based on mutual respect and inclusion of each other’s mathematical ideas.
