Mathematics
Vision/Mission Statement:
The Sacred Heart Middle School Math Department strives to prepare students to be problem-solvers with a strong foundation in fundamental mathematical concepts. We encourage perseverance and critical thinking through a mix of collaborative work, classroom discussions, and individual practice. We seek to create an environment in which students reason both concretely, abstractly and flexibly in order to make sense of mathematics and apply concepts to real-world situations.

Algebra I: This course is a rigorous college-preparatory high school Algebra I class. Upon completion of this course, students should be able to solve linear, quadratic, rational, and radical equations, and systems of linear equations, explore the relationship between graphs and different representations of functions. Mastery of this course will provide students with an essential foundation for success in all future mathematics courses. (Adapted from CPM)
