The Carroll County Secondary Mathematics program is designed to prepare all students to be successful participants in a global community. Graduates of Carroll County Public Schools will know and be able to use mathematics in their chosen career path to directly enter the world of work, to continue their formal education, or both. The Secondary Mathematics program supports Carroll County students by providing a curriculum that is rigorous, closely aligned to Md College and Career Ready Standards, national standards, and relevant to student needs and interests. All mathematics courses focus on real-world applications, stress the appropriate use of technology, and are designed to prepare students for the PARCC assessments.
The middle school program takes all students from their level of mathematical understanding upon entering sixth grade to an understanding of the foundational elements of algebra, patterns, and functions; geometry; measurement; statistics; probability; number relationships and computation; and processes of mathematics (problem solving strategies).
The high school program includes course sequences for students who wish to directly enter the world of work without further formal education as well as for students who wish to continue their formal mathematics education. Three college-level Advanced Placement courses are available for students who seek that challenge during their high school career.
A Secondary Math Resource notebook was created just for parents and contains important information such as course overviews by topic, course descriptions, video resources for parents, etc.
For a complete list of all secondary mathematics courses, please see our High School Program of Studies or our Middle School Program of Studies.
