Mathematics

The Mathematics Department offers a wide range of courses for all of its students. The curricula are sequential and emphasize the development of mathematical skills and concepts through the integrated study of the branches of mathematics such as algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Other topics within the curricula, such as logic, mathematical systems, probability, and statistics, are incorporated within the course work. Students use scientific calculators and/or graphing calculators in their study of mathematics. Those students who demonstrate an interest or have advanced mathematical ability are offered advanced placement/college level calculus, statistics and computer science.
Course Sequences
Course placement is based on student proficiency, academic performance, and readiness for the next level of study. Students may move between course tracks as they meet the necessary prerequisites and show mastery of course content. This flexible progression model allows students to advance when they are ready and ensures that all learners have access to rigorous, standards-aligned mathematical experiences that prepare them for success in high school, college, and beyond.
Senior Electives
Additional Courses
Core content courses (math, science, social studies and English Language Arts) will include appropriate supports and services for students with disabilities, as outlined in their Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and determined by the Committee on Special Education (CSE), as well as for English Language Learners (ELLs) in accordance with New York State regulations.
Courses in mathematics, science and social studies may be offered in Spanish through the Transitional Bilingual Education (TBE) program, based on student eligibility, enrollment and applicable minimum program requirements.
