| The goal of the Pope High School Mathematics Department is to accommodate students with diverse and changing (career) goals. The program provides experiences that encourage and enable students to value mathematics, gain confidence in their own mathematical ability, become mathematical problem solvers, communicate mathematically and reason mathematically. The curriculum is organized so as to permit all students to progress as far into mathematics as their achievement with the topic will allow. The expectation is that mathematical ideas will grow and deepen as students progress through the curriculum. |
