The course includes the development of mathematical skills such as operating with polynomials, solving and graphing linear and quadratic equations, solving and graphing systems of linear equations, factoring, and working with radicals.
Mathematics
Mathematics is the universal language. It allows all to make sense of the natural world—to observe, quantify, analyze, make connections, and solve problems in every field of study.
The ability to comprehend, develop, and utilize mathematical concepts is invaluable throughout life; all global citizens need strong fluency in this area. Achieving this ability is best done by learning to draw reasonable conclusions from information found in various sources. Whether from observation, words, data, or graphs, students use the tools of mathematics to analyze information and become adept at problem solving. Students are encouraged to welcome new challenges, question and justify their conjectures and solutions, test the reasonableness of those solutions, develop facility with and understanding of mathematical operations and procedures, and use them appropriately to make sense of the world.
The High School mathematics requirement is four full years of math. Students also have the opportunity to take more than one math course when their schedule allows for it. The mathematics curriculum encompasses the traditional high school courses of Algebra 1 through AP Calculus AB and BC, with additional courses in statistics and advanced level calculus.
