The mathematics department at MHS offers a variety of courses that range from basic math skills to AP and IB college-level mathematics. Due to the structured and sequential nature of mathematics, good attendance and a commitment to daily homework are requirements for all mathematics classes. Failure to complete one of these sequences in high school means that the student will have to complete it in college prior to taking calculus.
Students who wish to accelerate their math sequence may consider enrolling in Tonka Online to complete three years of math in two years by taking advantage of summer courses. Students who wish to enroll in Precalculus or AP Statistics but do not meet the prerequisites to move from Higher Algebra to Precalc or AP Statistics may wish to enroll in Tonka Online summer semester prep courses in Functions, Stats & Trig to fulfill the prerequisite.
Please note: Fees apply for summer courses and if students take more than six classes in a semester.
