The mathematics curriculum is aligned with the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Standards and the Massachusetts Mathematics Curriculum Framework which has incorporated the Common Core Standards for Mathematics. The courses offer practice with test skills and develop the skills through practical applications. Students will learn to use graphing calculators as a mathematical tool. They will use computers, videos, and other technology where applicable. Projects will be assigned to all grade levels to develop and reinforce skills and applications of mathematics. The Standards for Mathematical Practice complement the content standards so that students increasingly engage with the subject matter as they grow in mathematical maturity and expertise throughout the high school years.

 Standards for Mathematical Practice

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.

3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

4. Model with mathematics.

5. Use appropriate tools strategically.

6. Attend to precision.

7. Look for and make use of structure.

8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

 Students are required to pass four years of mathematics, including Algebra II, to meet the graduation requirement. Below is the typical sequence of courses dependent on your prior coursework.
