Lincoln Academy Math Department:
Our mission is to know each student as an individual, to meet them where they are, and to lead them as far in the study of mathematics as we are able.
Students at Lincoln Academy typically start in Algebra 1 their freshman year, then progress to Geometry as a sophomore, then Algebra 2 as a junior. As a senior, they have options to take AP Statistics; Statistics & Math Modeling; Functions, Trigonometry and Statistics; Personal Finance; and Accounting.
For those students with advanced math skills, there are honors level classes designed to challenge and stimulate their problem-solving skills. Three credits in mathematics are required for graduation. Since math plays an integral role in modern life, the Math Department encourages every student to study mathematics each year. Below are examples of some of the courses available. More details and complete listings are available in the LA Course Guide or by contacting the Guidance Office.
