The goals of the Quincy High School mathematics programs are consistent with the Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for Mathematics. Students achieve mathematical power through problem solving, communication, reasoning and proof, making connections and using a variety of mathematical representations. The guiding principles of mathematics education are:
Students explore mathematical ideas in ways that stimulate curiosity, create enjoyment of mathematics, help them develop depth of understanding, and reflect real-world applications.
All mathematics program focuses on problem solving and have teachers with a deep knowledge of mathematics as a discipline.
All students have access to high quality mathematics programs.
Mathematics is a lifelong process that begins and continues in the home and extends to school and community settings.
Mathematics instruction both connects with other disciplines and moves toward integration of mathematical domains.
Working together in teams and groups enhances mathematical learning, helps students communicate effectively, and develops social and mathematical skills.
Technology is an essential tool for effective mathematics education.
Mathematics assessment is a multifaceted tool that monitors student performance, improves instruction, enhances learning, and encourages student self-reflection.
The habits of mind fostered are:
Working beyond the center of competence
Deepening mathematical understanding
Gaining an attitude of persistence
Integrating mathematics in a network of ideas
Valuing all dimensions of mathematics.
All mathematics programs emphasize the following content:
Number sense and operations
Patterns, relations and algebra
Geometry
Measurement
Data analysis, statistics and probability.
