Mathematics
Mathematics provides the framework and language with which we can explore and describe in precise, understandable, and objective detail both abstract and concrete phenomena. Whereas the overriding goal of middle school mathematics is the mastery of performing a variety of operations with numbers, high school mathematics directs students’ attention to the recognition and formulation of patterns that occur and the process of generalization of these recurring patterns. Our emphasis at CHS is on the analysis of a problem and the expectation that each student provide a detailed explanation for his/her solution to both practical and theoretical examples.
