Teaching Mathematics at Chesterton Academy
Mathematics is studied seriously and valued highly as an integral part of the Integrated Curriculum. Mathematics teachers should strive to provide a rich and comprehensive vision of mathematics to their students, springing from awe and wonder and culminating in knowledge and mathematical mastery. Classes should explore how mathematical ideas progress logically and systematically through question and answer, how concepts are related to each other, and how each topic builds on earlier topics. Pedagogy and lessons should focus more on helping students to think through problems for themselves than on emphasizing rote computation and blindly following patterns, techniques, and formulas – as crucial as these things are for mathematical proficiency. With intentionality and passion, teachers will cultivate experiences of shape, quantity, and number that provoke wonder and lead students into a joyful encounter with reality and the beauty of order. This journey of discovery will not only inspire amazement about mathematical topics but will also equip students with the logical reasoning and other critical habits of mind and heart for their study of other subjects.
