The Mathematics Department in Levittown Public Schools is committed to inspiring a strong interest in mathematics while fostering critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and academic excellence. Through a rigorous and well-balanced curriculum, students build a deep understanding of mathematical concepts and learn to apply mathematics and statistics to everyday life, the workplace, and informed decision-making.

Middle School Mathematics

Grade 6
Instructional time in Grade 6 focuses on five core areas:

• Connecting ratios and rates to whole-number multiplication and division and applying these concepts to solve real-world problems
• Developing a complete understanding of fraction division and extending number concepts to include rational numbers, including negative numbers
• Writing, interpreting, and using expressions and equations
• Deepening understanding of area, surface area, and volume
• Developing foundational probability concepts and statistical thinking

Grade 7
Instruction in Grade 7 emphasizes three key areas:

• Developing and applying an understanding of proportional relationships
• Performing operations with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations
• Drawing inferences about populations based on sample data

Grade 8
Instructional priorities in Grade 8 include:

• Formulating and reasoning about expressions and equations, including modeling relationships in bivariate data with linear equations and solving systems of linear equations
• Understanding the concept of a function and using functions to describe quantitative relationships
• Analyzing two- and three-dimensional figures using distance, angle, similarity, and congruence, and applying the Pythagorean Theorem

High School Mathematics

All students are required to earn three credits in Mathematics and successfully pass the Algebra I Regents examination to meet New York State graduation requirements for a Regents Diploma. Students pursuing an Advanced Regents Diploma must also successfully complete and pass the Geometry and Algebra II courses and corresponding Regents examinations.

In addition to required coursework, students may choose from a variety of elective offerings, including College Board Advanced Placement (AP) courses and college-credit-bearing mathematics courses in partnership with SUNY Farmingdale.
