LHS Math Department Philosophy Statement

Mathematics is a way of approaching new challenges through exploring, reasoning, visualizing, and problem solving with the goal of communicating the relationships observed and the problems solved.  To prepare LHS students for the future, the Mathematics Department will provide instruction by using a variety of research-based best practices including appropriate technology.  The Mathematics Department is committed to empowering all students to think critically, reason effectively, and become problem solvers. The department is committed to providing curriculum, instruction, experiences and assessments that foster these attributes in our students.
