Honors Math Colloquium will incorporate learning to develop skills and cultivate interest in the academic enterprise. This course will engage students with Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate curriculum focused on math topics of a conjunction course to deepen the understanding of the math topics and solidify critical thinking and research skills. Through higher order thinking activities, students will participate in substantial reading and writing, develop oral and listening skills, and apply the Standards for Mathematical Practice. Students will be provided with the opportunity to examine multiple representations modeling the math (e.g. equations, graphs, tables, and applied problems.) Students will develop an enduring understanding of the big ideas of the math content which enables students to establish mathematical lines of reasoning, and use them to apply mathematical concepts and tools to solve problems. Students will also be provided with the opportunity to develop analytical and interpretive skills, practicing constructed and selected response questions similar to items on high-stakes exams (e.g. Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, PSAT, SAT, CAASPP).
