Mathematics - Upper School
We have created our curriculum with the view that growth in the understanding of fundamental mathematical ideas is a continuing and ordered process. We plan course offerings to give students recurring and varied contacts with the essential principles, processes, language, and notation of mathematics.
Discovery, logic, brainstorming, analogy, and other techniques introduce and reinforce concepts. Regular homework provides students the practice necessary to master the manipulations and notions discussed in class. Computers and graphing calculators are used to facilitate computations after basic skills have been learned. The department aims to adhere to the standards set forth by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
The core subjects of the mathematics curriculum are Algebra I, Geometry and Statistics, and Algebra II. Successful completion of these courses or their honors equivalents is a graduation requirement.
