Our Mathematic curriculum follows the guidelines of the New York State Department of Education. Math A is currently taught for the first three semesters, and Math B for the second three semesters, concluding with the end of eleventh grade. Our supplemental program teaches Math A over four semesters and continues with accounting in eleventh grade plus Topics in Math B to prepare our accounting students to succeed on the SAT and college placement exams.

Adjustments in the curriculum will be introduced, as per any new curriculum developed by the New York State Board of Regents.

PRECALCULUS/CALCULUS

Merkaz Bnos High School offers seniors who have excelled in mathematics the opportunity to continue to advanced mathematics. We offer College Algebra and Trigonometry and Calculus I. These courses provide students with a total of seven college credits. Topics include: Functions, Linear Modeling, Maxima and Minima; Curving and Sketching including Vertical, Horizontal And Slant Asymptote; Complex Numbers; Fundamental Theorem of Algebra; Introduction to Mathematical sequences and series.

ACCOUNTING

Accounting focuses on daily business transactions and generally accepted accounting principals such as Debits and Credits and Asset and Liabilities. Students are taught to keep accounting journals and ledgers.These skills prove helpful for our student’s future endeavors in college and in business.
