High School Mathematics

The Mathematics program at Sacramento Waldorf High School awakens an awareness of and appreciation for the predictable patterns and structures present in the universe. Through the mathematical topics presented, the students develop healthy, orderly thinking. The SWS High School Math Department strives to maintain wholeness in the approach to the teaching of mathematics and integrate mathematical concepts into other areas of study. In tenth grade, students survey the school campus in their study of Trigonometry. In eleventh grade, in Projective Geometry, students explore perspective as well as relationships that extend beyond the concepts of traditional Euclidian geometry. Homework is assigned regularly to promote healthy study habits and independence. Students complete four years of math while in high school; classes are 45 minutes long and are taught four days a week.
