Mathematics at Huntington
Mathematics is for everyone! The Mathematics Department believes that there is a level of mathematics study available to every student. The mathematics program emphasizes computational skills, problem-solving techniques, and mathematical structure.
The goal of every Huntington mathematics teacher is to provide students with the knowledge and understanding necessary to function in a world very dependent upon the application of math. The New York State Education Department has clearly defined learning standards that will assist schools and teachers in achieving this goal. All students will understand and become proficient in the skills of mathematics; communicate and reason mathematically; and become problem solvers by using appropriate tools and strategies. This will be accomplished thorough the integrated study of Number Sense and Operations, Algebra, Geometry, Measurement, and Statistics and Probability.
All students are required to complete successfully three credits of mathematics and demonstrate a minimum level of proficiency on a New York State exam.
