From the introduction
We created this curriculum with a few key principles in mind.
Principle 1.
Every student can participate in rigorous mathematical thinking.
Rigorous mathematical thinkers want to understand why, not just get the answer. They make connections and seek underlying structure and coherence. They develop powerful tools to solve problems, including fact fluency and procedural efficiency. Rigorous mathematical thinkers ask questions, make conjectures and predictions, test out their ideas relentlessly, and expect to be surprised.
Principle 2.
Play is the engine of learning.
Mathematicians engage in play constantly: exploring, wondering, noticing, and being led by curiosity. Play can transform math class from tedious to joyful, from shallow to deep, from mundane into fascinating. Students at play are more likely to persist, to build tenacity, to remember, and to learn. Play is the secret sauce that helps students come to love and succeed in mathematics.
Principle 3.
Without rigor, mathematical play is formless.
Without play, mathematical rigor is unsustainable.
We need both, together, to get the most out of mathematics.
