Mathematics Program



The State College Area School District has a comprehensive mathematics program for students with varying interests, backgrounds, and aptitudes in mathematics. There are Standard, College Preparatory and Advanced course sequences.  All course sequences are designed to prepare students for continuing education after high school.

Each course sequence includes experiences with Common-Core Mathematics strands of Number and Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Modeling, Geometry, Statistics and Probability.  The Standard sequence is designed for college and career readiness and to prepare students to meet competencies as required by the state.  College-Prep courses cover all state-required competencies, but also include more in depth experiences than Standard courses.  Advanced courses are more mathematically rigorous, including rich experiences with reasoning, proof, and mathematical modeling.

All students are required to take three years of high school mathematics to graduate, but it is strongly recommended that students study mathematics in every year of high school.
