Department Philosophy

Today’s society is becoming increasingly technology-oriented, a trend that shows little prospect of diminishing. To be truly prepared to function at any level in such a society requires a firm foundation in the disciplines of mathematics.

The Mathematics Department of St. Peter Chanel High School recognizes its responsibility to prepare students of varying levels of mathematics abilities and aptitudes to become successful participants in this technological world. Fulfillment of this responsibility entails a program of studies broad enough to encompass the needs of all students in the math program. These needs range from a firm knowledge of the mathematics needed for everyday life to the advanced levels of math encountered in the sciences and engineering fields and in pure mathematics itself.

Beyond meeting the needs of mathematics students, an overriding goal of the Mathematics Department is to integrate life values and an outlook consistent with the Roman Catholic tradition into the mathematics curriculum. The production of a logical, reasoning, inquiring and informed person, gifted with a Christian conscience, is a major goal of the Mathematics Department of St. Peter Chanel High School.

Department Goals

The students will: 
1. learn to value mathematics.
2. become confident in their ability to do mathematics.
3. become mathematical problem solvers.
4. learn to communicate mathematically.
5. learn to reason mathematically.
6. integrate Christian values into their study of mathematics. 

St. Peter Chanel High School currently requires three credits in mathematics for graduation. However, the school strongly suggests that students enroll in a four-year sequence that best satisfies their future plans. Math Department offerings include: 

212 Algebra 1 
213 Honors Algebra 1 
222 Geometry 
223 Honors Geometry 
232 Algebra 2 
233 Honors Algebra 2 and Trigonometry 
241 Transition to College Math 
242 Pre-Calculus 
243 Advanced Placement Calculus & Math Topics 
248 Probability & Statistics
