The Mathematics Department at Batavia High School is committed to helping students understand and interpret the world around them through the language of Mathematics. We achieve this by offering a comprehensive and well-aligned math curriculum that caters to our students’ diverse learning needs.

The Mathematics Department offers various courses to provide students with a coherent and challenging curriculum at all levels designed to accommodate individual student learning needs. All of our classes place a strong emphasis on the Common Core Math Practice Standards:

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Did you know that BHS has a Math Team?

Math Team is a competitive group where students show their mathematical skills by competing in rigorous contests with other students locally and around the country. Students learn problem-solving strategies and engage in higher-level mathematics that transcends the scope of the standard mathematics curriculum.

Math Team gives students an educationally enriching opportunity to participate in an academically oriented activity and to gain recognition for mathematical achievement. Our main goal is to promote the enjoyment and study of mathematics. The key is encouraging students to enjoy a challenge and learn from it to find problem-solving discussions stimulating. The enrichment we provide is a positive experience for students.
