“What is assessed and reported shows what is really valued” (Hanscamp et al., 2019, p. 94). Lifelong learning goals are clearly identified on the assignment, with opportunity to demonstrate learning against these goals.
Students explore the beautiful patterns that emerge from the mathematical laws governing recurring and terminating decimals.
Mathematical laws are considered reliable because they are:
- True at all times (‘eternal’)
- True everywhere (‘omnipresent’)
- Cannot be defied or defeated (‘omnipotent’)
This led famous early mathematicians like Einstein and Galileo to claim that mathematics expresses the mind of God.
“Your word, LORD, is eternal;
Psalm 119: 89-91
it stands firm in the heavens.
Your faithfulness continues through all generations;
you established the earth, and it endures.
Your laws endure to this day,
for all things serve you.”
