Math Department

The Mathematics Department offers a variety of courses preparing the students for Vermont's High School Grade Expectations which reflect the standards of the Vermont Framework of Standards and Learning Opportunities. The department recommends that the student's 3 mathematics credits show evidence in Algebra, Geometry, measurement, statistics, and probability standards. Successfully completing an Algebra 1 and Geometry sequence will meet the requirements of the High School Grade Expectations.

It is also the recommendation of the department that those students enrolled in Algebra, Geometry or higher level math courses have a graphing calculator (TI-83 or TI-84 series). Calculators are available during the day in the classroom.

All students need three credits in Mathematics in order to graduate. The Mathematics Department aims to increase student understanding of mathematical skills, concepts and problem solving in Number and Quantity, Algebraic Thinking, Geometric Thinking, and Mathematical Modeling to prepare for college or career readiness. Through the language of mathematics, students will develop logical reasoning and critical thinking to be able to access and analyze information and effectively communicate solutions.

It is also the recommendation of the department that those students enrolled in Algebra 2 or higher have a graphing calculator (TI-84 series). Calculators are available during the day in the classroom.
