Huntington Has Math Courses for Everyone
There are a wide variety of math courses available to Huntington High School students. Two such courses, Math Investigations and Advanced Algebra, serve important niches in the 1,200 student school.
Math Investigations is a full year, one credit course that is designed as a third year course for students who don’t plan on pursuing an Advanced Regents diploma in math. To enroll in the class, students must have successfully completed the Math A curriculum and have a teacher recommendation.
Math Investigations is “a high interest course which extends beyond the Math A curriculum,” according to a description found in the high school course bulletin. “Topics will include a history of mathematics, graph theory, mosaics and topology. Students will also explore the Fobonacci sequence, Pascal’s Triangle, Cryptography and Coding.”
Advanced Algebra is also a full year, one credit course. It requires successful completion of Math B1, Math B2, Math Investigations or Algebra-Trigonometry.
“Advanced Algebra is designed for seniors to sharpen their math skills in preparation for pre-calculus and other advanced math courses,” said Wayne Edward, district director of math. “The content in this course is organized around functions and models real world situations.”
According to the high school course bulletin, “Topics in trigonometry and polynomial functions will be covered in this course. The content in this course is organized around functions and models real world situations. Probability and data analysis topics are also interwoven throughout the course.”
In all, the Huntington High School math department offers students 20 different courses. For more information about any these offerings contact Mr. Edwards at 673-2077 or wedwards@hufsd.edu
