Math
Solve problems and build understanding.
At Branson, we seek to develop every student’s ability to think logically, visualize mathematical relationships, reason using abstract representations, and effectively find solutions to new and unfamiliar problems. We help students become comfortable with challenges and enable students to persevere when the path to a solution is not immediately obvious. We also use technology to enhance students’ mathematical understanding.
In the Branson math classroom, you will develop not only your mathematical skills and an appreciation for the beauty of mathematics, but also your self-confidence and your ability to work collaboratively with classmates.
Whether you’re a math superstar, someone who struggles with math or somewhere in between, you’ll be challenged here to solve problems creatively and to apply your learning across disciplines.
