Consistent with the school’s mission and 21st Century Learning Skills, The Mathematics Department at Burlington High School offers a challenging, relevant, and dynamic curriculum that is fully aligned with The March 2017 Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks incorporating the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. The Mathematics Program is based on sequencing rather than grade level. All prerequisite courses have been designed to ensure readiness in subsequent courses, as well as to ensure an appropriately challenging course sequence for each Burlington High School student.
