Twin Peaks Departmental Information

MATHEMATICS

The goal of Twin Peaks' Math Department is that all of our students will be competent, creative problems solvers with deep math understanding. Math skills and problem solving strategies continually build throughout a student's progression from elementary grades through middle school into high school. Instruction is standards based and achievement is measured by mastery of course standards.

Math Levels:

•ELL Math
•Algebra Readiness
•Algebra 1-2
•Pre-Algebra @ 6th and 7th grades
•Geometry
•6th Grade Math

Homework is an integral part of the learning process and students will be assigned regular, meaningful assignments to reinforce skills and concepts taught in class as well as to prepare for future classes.  Math homework will generally take the following form:
* Active previewing of upcoming material (previewing textbook)
* Practice of concepts and skills
* Studying for quizzes and tests
