The goal of the Mathematics Department is to provide a complete,
in-depth program of studies that best meets the needs of the individual
student. Three programs accomplish this goal:
- Academic Tech
- College Prep
- Honors
Note: Students planning to take Calculus in college
are urged to elect Trigonometry and Advanced Math.
(Refer to the Math Flow Chart to see course sequences.)
Academic Tech math courses utilize a Standards Based approach (Math
Connections) and are intended for students who desire to attend
a two-year technical college or a four-year college in a non-math
related field.
Eighth graders that have successfully completed MathScape Book 3
are advised to elect Math Connections 1A
& Math Connections 1B as ninth graders.
Students may elect Trigonometry CP after the successful completion
of Math Connections 3A.
College Prep math courses are intended for students who plan to
attend a college or university. Eighth graders that have successfully
completed Algebra 1A CP are advised to elect Algebra 1B CP &
Geometry CP as ninth graders. Successful completion of Running Start
Calculus CP in their senior year results in a NHVTC credit transferable
to several colleges throughout the country that include UNH.
Honors math courses are intended for students who plan to attend
a college or university and desire to take Advanced Placement Calculus
as high school seniors.
Eighth graders that have successfully completed Algebra 1A CP are
advised to elect Algebra 1 H & Geometry H as ninth graders.
Honors Trigonometry students are invited to join Mu Alpha Theta
(national high school and junior college mathematics club).
Please note that the SAT includes Algebra 2 (effective 2005). |
