WelcomeThe Franklin High School Mathematics course offerings address the learning standards defined by the Massachusetts Mathematics Curriculum Frameworks and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. The Massachusetts Mathematics Frameworks comprise five strands: Number Sense and Operations, Patterns, Relations, and Geometry; Measurement; and Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability. A more detailed description of each learning standard in the state frameworks may be found on the Department of Education's web site: Curriculum Frameworks.The goals of the Franklin High School Mathematics Department are to help every student to become more reasonable and rational thinkers who can apply knowledge in their everyday lives. Through active participation in their courses, students learn the structure and nature of mathematics. They also develop analytical skills that help them apply basic principles to new areas of study and everyday living. Mathematics courses utilize new technologies to facilitate computation and enable students to visualize the mathematics. The department recommends that all students have their own graphing calculator, which enables students to investigate concepts using multiple forms of representation and extends the range of the curriculum. Mathematics courses, most of which are offered at the College Preparatory and Honors levels include:
In addition, the following Advanced Placement Course are offered:
