Mission and Philosophy
The members of the Mathematics Department of Xavier College Preparatory understand the demand for women that are competent in mathematics to solve today’s problems. The Department strives to educate tomorrow’s women with strong problem-solving skills, estimation without a calculator and analysis with technology to provide them with the best possible base for higher level mathematics. The Department reinforces the use of mathematical language through writing and speaking within groups and as a class.
The Department supports faculty professional development to stay current with advanced technology and content. In an effort to encourage respect, we provide an environment that promotes the right of each individual to learn and establishes a sense of responsibility for the student’s own conduct and performance. The curriculum is aligned with Arizona Department of Education (ADE), National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and College Board standards.
Honor Societies

Its purpose is to engender keener interest in mathematics, to develop scholarship in the subject, and to promote enjoyment of mathematics among high school students.
