Math
At Maybeck, we believe engaging in mathematics is about much more than learning content from a textbook. We collaborate with students and families to place students in the math course that is the best fit for them. This conversation begins with a math placement test that assesses for flexible thinking in problem solving, mathematical thinking, and content knowledge. As students progress through our course offerings, they build their mathematical skills, but also build their capacity to engage in both independent and collaborative problem solving.
Required Courses
At Maybeck, students are required to take three years of mathematics courses and must reach at least Algebra 2 in our traditional math sequence. Most students at Maybeck take four years of math, and many reach Calculus and beyond before graduating.
Math Courses
Sample Math Activities
In Geometry, students design their own maps and use the areas of overlapping circles to locate missing GPS coordinates.
In Statistics, students complete creative projects in which they gather data from the Maybeck community and perform statistical analysis to reveal hidden aspects of our community.
