Honors math is a program covering the core math standards using enrichment and extended activities. Through reading, writing, thinking, and discussion, the students learn higher level math skills and are challenged to apply their knowledge to solve rigorous problems at an accelerated pace. Success in the Honors Math Program is dependent on the student’s serious approach to studies.
