Mathematics at New Voices aims to enable students to develop mathematical knowledge and concepts to develop logical, critical and creative thinkers. We want our students to build new mathematical ideas and practice application. Students explore, make discoveries, reflect, and communicate their ideas. Students follow the New York State Next Generation Learning Standards with ninety minutes of math instruction daily. Algebra Regents course is offered to all eighth graders. Students who successfully complete the course are able to take the NYS Algebra Regents Examination for high school credit if they choose. At New Voices, we use a variety of resources including a web-based program that individualizes instruction to guide students through with engaging activities to build math fluency and confidence.
