The Mathematics Department of Lake Forest High School will prepare students for life in a increasingly technological world in the following core areas: problem solving, logical reasoning, communicating mathematical ideas, applying mathematics to real-world situations and using technology as a mathematical tool to solve mathematical problems. We will maintain learning environments and classroom situations in which students can develop confidence in the above endeavors.
Math Students Celebrated Pi Day! More Info... Yearly Progess Pro is a success! Last May, the Lake Forest High School Foundation awarded the Math Department a very generous grant to cover the costs of a new computer based algebra program called Yearly Progress Pro (YPP). Over eight hundred students will have access to the program that will provide exercises online to improve student retention of the algebra curriculum. Also, the program will provide regular classroom assignments to allow teachers to spiral topics throughout the school year. The program was successfully piloted during the second semester of the 2006-2007 school year with approximately one hundred students. Some students may be familiar with the program as the Yearly Progress Pro is currently used at District 67. The Math Department is very excited about the potential benefits of a computer based algebra program. |
