Problem Solving: Mathematical Reasoning

School Year (September 8, 2026 to May 28, 2027)

Developing the ability to think critically and solve problems creatively is the foundation of this class. This is the intersection of logic, [mathematical] intuition, and the mathematics we use to describe the natural world created by a divine Creator. Students will reason, model, and draw conclusions or make decisions with quantitative information. This class will not focus solely on the "correct" solution but also on the defense of the student's arrival at that solution. Moreover, it will be fun and interactive with an emphasis on collaboration and oral and written presentation of solutions and methods. Problem solving strategies taught in this class include the use of: diagrams, systematic lists, elimination of possibilities, matrix logic, pattern identification, subproblems, unit analysis, physical representations (manipulatives), Venn diagrams, and algebra. This course is eligible for dual enrollment credit for junior and senior students. Homework will average 3-5 hours per week.
