The mastery of college- and career-ready math skills for all students is the mission of the WLHS Math Department. To that end, students will be expected to peer- and self- assess their mastery of problem solving in all math courses via a school-wide rubric that includes defining variables, estimating & predicting, modeling a solution process with multiple representations, computing with precision, and checking reasonableness of an answer in a given context. In addition, all students will be expected to track their progress toward mastery of learning targets and course standards and seek additional interventions they need as appropriate. A variety of instructional strategies will be used within a workshop model in order to promote a student-centered, contextualized, personalized learning experience. Students will be expected to actively engage in their learning of math and hold themselves accountable to WLHS Habits of Scholarship. Standardized end-of-unit assessments will be administered in all classes, while mid-term and final exams may also be given in any course at teacher discretion. While necessary technology will be available in all classrooms, students are encouraged to secure their own TI-83 Plus or higher graphing calculator as soon as possible in their high school career.
