The Mathematics Department of Perry Hall High School

The Mathematics Department of Perry Hall High School serves students of all grade levels. We are responsible for delivering rigorous and standards-aligned math instruction to students across a variety of courses, such as Algebra, Geometry, Precalculus, and AP Calculus. We design curriculum, develop assessments, and implement effective teaching strategies to support student learning and achievement in mathematics. We collaborate to support school-wide academic goals and foster a positive attitude toward mathematics within the school community.

As a team, we encourage students to be mathematical problem solvers by creating meaningful relationships, modeling mathematics, being consistent, and setting high expectations as we cultivate a fun and flexible learning environment.
