Iolani's mathematics curriculum is both traditional and innovative. The basic skills of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry are emphasized and curent technologies are integrated throughout grades 7-12.
All students must satisfactorily complete Algebra 2 in order to graduate and must earn credit in mathematics through their junior year. An honors program is available for those exceptionally gifted in mathematics, and Advanced Placement Calculus is usually elected by those who have completed Precalculus as juniors.
Acceleration in the Mathematics department's curriculum is possible through approved summer school courses. Such acceleration is based on the recommendation of a student's current mathematics teacher, counselor, and the Mathematics Department Chair to ensure that the student's best interest is met.
Three possible courses of study in mathematics are outlined below.
