• ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION

  • Welcome to the Lowell High School Mathematics Department

    To function in today’s society, mathematical literacy is as essential as verbal literacy. These two kinds of literacy, although different, are not unrelated. Without the ability to read and understand, no one can become mathematically literate. Increasingly, the reverse is also true: without the ability to understand basic mathematical ideas, one cannot fully comprehend the world around them. Therefore, a primary goal of the Mathematics Department is for all students to achieve mathematical literacy. However, mathematical literacy includes more than students being able to read and solve mathematical problems. It also involves the process of mathematics - requiring students to think critically, to reason, and to problem solve. All of the courses in the Mathematics Department operate with these learning goals in mind.

    Lowell High School’s graduation requirement is the passing of fifteen (15) credits in Mathematics (which must include 5 credits of Algebra and 5 credits of Geometry).
