Mathematics
The Middle School Math Program is designed to develop students’ appreciation of problem solving through the exploration and application of mathematical concepts. Through a collaborative learning environment, students are encouraged to drive their own learning while reinforcing the skills and number sense developed in earlier grades. Math offerings introduce students to more symbolic and graphical representations of mathematics while developing critical thinking skills. Throughout the curriculum, students will be introduced to topics in pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, probability and statistics.
