Mathematics

As mathematics instructors, we strive to provide a learning environment that promotes academic excellence and recognizes each student's needs and capabilities in mathematics. As a result, students will acquire at  mathematical skills and improve basic reasoning processes to face challenges and solve problems. 

The Academy of Holy Angels offers a comprehensive program in mathematics. Because there is a great need for critical, quantitative thinking and problem solving ability in our society, each AHA student is required to complete nine trimesters of mathematics for graduation. Most colleges require Intermediate Algebra, Geometry and Algebra ll for admission.

The mathematics curriculum is not broken into rigid tracks, but is a flexible plan based upon students’ needs and abilities. As students progress, their performance is regularly evaluated by their teachers, parents or guardians and the students themselves. On the basis of this regular evaluation, students may elect to take a math course more appropriate to individual ability. In order to continue the next trimester, a student must pass the current trimester in that course. Students in “Advanced” courses or AP Pre- Calculus , AP Calculus or AP Statistics must earn at least a C each trimester to continue in the course.

Graphing calculators and computers will be used in courses for which they are appropriate. The TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-84 or the TI-84 Plus graphing calculator is required for courses using the graphing calculator. These models are used for instruction, and their operation is explained in classes using them.
