Mathematics Program
Wheeler’s Mathematics program aims to give students the tools and skills they need to face a variety of problems as they work individually and collectively to find solutions. We want each student to build confidence in their ability to study mathematics today and in the future, to see connections among the concepts covered in our curriculum, and to reach their potential through understanding and appreciation of the subject. Wheeler’s Mathematics Department is recognized for its curriculum development projects that center on creating new digital platforms for learning mathematics, including new topics in data analysis, video-based instructional content, and online learning methods, tools, and materials — all before distance learning became necessary.
Beyond the Curriculum
Outside of the classroom, Wheeler offers students opportunities to compete in a great number of math competitions. The Math League competition (Wheeler competes in the New England Mathematics League, or NEML) is open to students throughout the school, not just those on a particular math team.
