 Mathematics Department
The ability to do Algebra, Geometry, or Trigonometry, like any new skill, requires practice. Holy Names math classes are set up to allow students to learn from lectures, class work, homework, individual and group activities, quizzes and tests. Additional peer and teacher assistance is also readily available. Although skills may not be mastered when they are first presented, repeated and varied exposure to the new concepts lead to successful learning.
