MHS Mathematics Program

    The  New York State requirement for graduation is three (3) math credits.  All students are encouraged to take four years of math. The department offers a four year program from Course 1 Regents to Advanced Placement Calculus. Students entering MHS are required to earn a passing grade on the NYS Math A Regents Examination in order to attain a diploma for graduation. Included in our sequence of offerings are additional courses and extended lab classes that allow all our students to meet this requirement.  

Standard Regents courses include algebra and geometry as well as logic, transformations, trigonometry, permutations, probability and statistics. These courses are integrated into a sequential three year curriculum that deepens the student's understanding of each topic.  Upon completion of this three-year sequence, students are encouraged to continue their studies of upper level mathematics in Precalculus and A.P. Calculus or A.P. Statistics.  Technology, with emphasis on the graphing calculator, is infused within all courses at the high school.

"Mathematics is an interesting intellectual sport but it should not be allowed to stand in the way of obtaining sensible information about physical processes."
