Math

The Mathematics Department is responsible for all aspects of the mathematics program in grades K-12. The department oversees the teaching and learning of mathematics, Program Review and implementation, curriculum, assessments, and professional development. The goal of our mathematics program is to meet the needs of all learners so that they become critical problem solvers and reflective thinkers in a diverse evolving global and technological society. The mathematics program is grounded in the 2011 Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for Mathematics, in both the Standards for Mathematical Content and the Standards for Mathematical Practice.

Students in every math class are expected to be well organized, to maintain a notebook, and to conscientiously complete regular homework assignments. Graphing calculators are used throughout the math curriculum; it is strongly recommended that students have their own graphing calculator to use at home and at school.

A minimum of three credits in mathematics is required for graduation.
