Mathematics

Department Chair: Ed Zaborowski

The mathematics curriculum is designed so that students

  1. learn to read, write, and orally communicate mathematical concepts
  2. learn to organize, analyze, depict, and interpret data, to make decisions and predictions related to real world situations
  3. solve theoretical and practical problems using essential concepts of algebra, geometry, probability, and statistics
  4. understand the relationships between mathematics, the sciences, and technology

Topics in each class are presented numerically, graphically, analytically, and verbally, whenever possible, to enhance the learning experience. AP courses in Calculus and Statistics follow the topic outlines set forth by the College Board for their respective disciplines. Graphing calculator competencies increase with each grade level and students are exposed to the latest math software each year.
