Mathematics
Welcome to the Spectrum Mathematics department. Our department is divided up into three pathways: Workplace, Foundations & Pre-Calculus. When choosing a pathway, it’s important to consider your goals, interests, strengths and teacher recommendations. By knowing what your goals, interests and strengths are in math, teachers can recommend which pathway is best suited for you so you can be successful.-
