Phoenix Presents: Math Department Spotlight
Coordinator Joseph Romanelli discusses program specifics and focus
"The math department at NHHS emphasizes computational skills, problem-solving techniques, and mathematical structure. The students learn skills and concepts, and practice analytical and critical thinking throughout each one of their courses.
The HS graduation requirement is three credits of math and an extra three credits of stem classes, while every course the math department offers counts as a stem credit. The department offers a variety of AP and college level courses including AP Pre Calculus, AP/UCONN Calculus, AP Statistics, UCONN Discrete Mathematics and SCSU College Algebra.
The math department also is dedicated to improving the SAT scores through updated curriculum and dedicated class time for SAT practice. All juniors are also offered the opportunity to take an SAT Prep class to better prepare them for the exam. "
Now let's meet the teachers who make it happen...
