Curriculum Information
Mathematics
The overriding goal of mathematics education in Marlboro Township Public Schools is to enhance all of our students with the skills, understandings and attitudes that they will need to be successful in their careers and daily lives.
The curriculum emphasizes higher-order thinking skills to compute routine algorithms to help students become problem solvers. The curriculum takes a developmental and sequential approach; a concept is introduced, subsequently developed, and mastered. It contains a strong focus on technology at every grade level and integrates math with other subjects.
