Welcome to the Wilson School District Mathematics Department
In order to successfully meet the rigorous requirements of the newly adopted Pennsylvania Core Standards, the mathematics department uses a student-centered approach to learning. All students will be challenged to work in groups, pairs, and as individuals to develop a solid understanding of how and why mathematics works, not just how to find solutions.
