数学
Emma students will spend their adult lives in a world influenced by technology and quantitative methods. For this reason, each student is asked to see mathematics as a tool for problem solving.
To prepare our students for mathematics at any college or university, our mathematics department teaches with a variety of pedagogical approaches, including traditional algebraic methods, 具体问题具体分析的方法, and methods that take advantage of technologies including graphing calculators and the computer program GeoGebra.
After an initial placement test, students are placed into general sequence courses. They can also take Computer 科学 courses and math electives that focus on areas including statistics, 金融, 和工程. As students progress through the mathematics curriculum, they learn to do more sophisticated work with technology.
Emma’s 数学 Department also aims to develop students’ independent problem-solving skills and number sense. Teachers frequently make connections between mathematics and its applications in other areas, allowing students to gain proficiency and confidence in all areas of mathematics.

每年, 足球比赛下注 hosts professional development days full of inspiration for our faculty and staff. 今年, rather than bringing in a guest speaker, we leaned into our own resident experts and held a series of fascinating presentations by various teachers and staff.

在周五, 4月12日, Computer 科学 Instructor 拉沙 took eight students to a high school 编码的竞争 at Siena College. The B team, comprised of Candy L. 26，威洛·S. [27]纪素B. 1927年，艾玛·C. ’27 won two awards in the Green Division.
There were 60 teams in the Green Division, and the B team won the division, coming in 1st place in both the "small school" sub-division and in the division overall. The team solved six out of the seven problems and solved them much quicker than other teams.
The A team comprised of Sherry H. 1924年，罗宾·W. 24岁，索尔·H. 1924年，Harini D. ’25, came in 17th place overall. They solved three of the seven problems.

Gabriana罗萨里奥 is mathematics fellow at 足球比赛下注, joining our faculty this fall. The Fellows program at 足球比赛下注 partners with Clarkson Graduate School so that the candidate receives a Master’s of 艺术 in Teaching degree from Clarkson University’s Capital Region campus. We asked Gabriana four questions about her role at Emma Willard
数学学习中心
位于韦弗大厅, the 数学学习中心 is a dedicated place where students can ask questions of a math teacher and/or a peer tutor. Some students go to “talk out” their ideas about problems and clarify questions from class. Other students go regularly to have a quiet place to do their math homework and appreciate the support of having a teacher or peer tutor available should questions arise.
Going to the 数学学习中心 is a way for students to take initiative and show their determination for learning math.
