Secondary Mathematics


Mathematics is a survival skill that transfers to all professions in today’s work force providing an avenue and a process for solving everyday problem situations. Through math, we look for patterns and learn to analyze, make decisions, strive for accuracy, and persevere. Mathematics connects to and enhances all areas of life from music and art to engineering and natural sciences.

The vision of the NNPS Mathematics Department is for all students to acquire the rigorous mathematical knowledge and skills needed for their next grade level, to pursue higher education, to compete in a technologically sophisticated work force, and to be informed problem solving citizens.

The mission of the NNPS Mathematics Department is for all students to become mathematical problem solvers, communicating mathematically, reasoning mathematically, making mathematical connections, and using mathematical representations to model and interpret practical situations in order to become productive and globally competitive citizens.

Course Sequencing

Secondary Math Course Offerings

A flowchart of high school math course sequences. The main math path begins with Algebra I, which leads to two tracks: (1) Geometry or H Geometry, which flows into H Algebra II; and (2) Algebra II, which can be preceded by Algebra Functions & Data Analysis. Geometry/H Geometry and Algebra II have a two-way arrow indicating they are interchangeable in sequence. Algebra II leads to Trig/Elem Functions and Probability & Statistics. Both H Algebra II and the Trig/Elem Functions path converge into H Math Analysis, which leads to AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, or AP Statistics. A separate computer science path runs below: Introduction to Computer Programming leads to H Computer Programming, which leads to AP Computer Science
