The Bridgeton School District will equip all students with mathematical skills and ways of thinking that provide them with the flexibility, adaptability, and creativity to function as productive citizens in the changing society of the 21st century. Mathematical understanding must extend beyond the skills of calculation and manipulation of numbers and symbols to the use of mathematics to investigate, predict, analyze, interpret, create, and evaluate.
The Bridgeton School District expects its students to enjoy, appreciate, and use mathematics. Students are challenged to master the New Jersey Student Learning Standards in Mathematics in which they will make sense of problems and persevere in solving them; reason abstractly and quantitatively; construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others; model with mathematics; use appropriate tools strategically; attend to precision; look for and make use of structure; and look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
The Bridgeton School District has implemented the Go Math program (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt - 2018) in grades kindergarten through fifth and the Glencoe Math program (McGrawHill - 2016) in grades sixth through eighth. In grades nine through twelfth, students may take Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-calculus, Calculus and a variety of mathematically related electives.
