MATHEMATICS
Mathematics education requires students to think critically as they relate mathematics to real life situations. All
mathematics courses focus on the development of logical reasoning skills in problem-solving situations and the ability
to communicate one’s understanding of mathematics. There will be an emphasis on showing the work needed to solve
a problem in a logical format rather than just getting the numerical answer to the problem.
The use of technology and cooperative learning leads students to discover, analyze and make connections among
mathematical concepts. Students need numerous and varied experiences related to the cultural, historical and
scientific evolution of mathematics so that they can appreciate the role of mathematics in the development of our
contemporary society and realize its impact on their future career choices. Students also need to explore relationships
between mathematics and the disciplines it serves: the physical and life sciences, social sciences and humanities.

Note: All math courses require a TI-84 Plus graphing calculator. Students who earn an A in Acc Algebra 1 414/415 may elect to take
Acc Geometry 424/425, along with Honors Algebra 2/Trigonometry* 434/435, so they can take AP Calculus AB* 464/465 as a senior.
Calculators that perform symbolic manipulations such as TI-89, TI-92 and TI Nspire CAS are not allowed when taking quizzes or tests.
