Math

Kents Hill’s Math program is designed to help students master algebraic skills, understand algebraic methods, reason graphically and analytically, and utilize mathematics in solving everyday problems. Math courses are offered at the 100-500 levels and include several Honors and Advanced Placement options that move at an accelerated pace and cover content in considerable breadth and depth.

Featured Course: AP Statistics

This course follows the Advanced Placement (AP) Statistics syllabus and introduces students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. The major components of the course are: describing, displaying, and interpreting data, examining methods of collecting data collection with consideration of bias and randomness, and probability, specifically looking at the mathematical rules that govern the analysis of random events. Those three components culminate in the study of statistical inference, estimating population parameters, and testing hypotheses. Students will use the TI-84 extensively for creating visual and numerical summaries of data and conducting many of the inference procedures.
