Math
Math Department Mission Statement:
It is the mission of the LHS mathematics department to assist students in developing the critical thinking skills necessary to make sense of problems, reason abstractly, and model with mathematics.
Calculators:
The Math Department at Legacy highly recommends purchasing a calculator for your student.
A scientific calculator works great for Algebra I through Algebra II.
A graphing calculator is strongly encouraged for students who plan to take Precalculus, Calculus, and Statistics. Graphing calculators are provided in the classroom and in the Math Saber Center.
Recommendations:
The TI-30XIIs is recommended for a scientific calculator.
The TI-84 Plus (any version) is recommended for a graphing calculator.
If your son or daughter is unsure if their current calculator will be acceptable or work for this class, have them ask a member of the math department and we can make sure.
