The high school 9-12 grades in the math department use Pearson materials implementing the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II. The lesson goals lead to the completion of math requirements at the state level. The high school math program is designed to equip students with the knowledge needed to satisfy math standards for a high school diploma. The students will complete a program of study by following a proposed class sequence throughout high school to prepare them for college, vocational training, or employment.

Geometer's Sketchpad is a program that can be used to create manipulatives for algebra and geometry concepts. Primarily, the students can use this technology for graphing and solving equations; constructing and analyzing various polygons; measuring angles, segments, and slope; transforming graphs and figures; and work with data across multiple representations. TSD curriculum incorporates Geometer's Sketchpad through the use of interactive boards to make mathematics hands-on.

The Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) test is a computerized testing assessment for mathematics. When taking a map test, the difficulty of each question is based on how well a student answers all the previous questions. The test is tailored to an individual's current achievement level. This gives students a fair opportunity to show what they know and can do.

The Stanford Achievement Test, 10th Edition (Stanford 10) is a widely used achievement test published by Harcourt Brace Educational Measurement. It was designed to measure achievement in the curriculum content commonly taught in grades 1 through 9 throughout the United States. This test is very widely used with deaf and hard of hearing students. The Stanford 10 has eight test levels that have been vertically equated so that scores are reported on a single scale for each subtest. These "scaled scores" allow comparisons of scores from different test levels and permit examination of longitudinal growth in achievement of individual students over time. Each test level was designed to measure curriculum content commonly taught (to hearing students) throughout the United States in specific grades in school.

Accelerated Math identifies students at risk or students functioning above grade level by providing diagnostic testing and retesting cumulatively and by objectives. Accelerated Math diagnostic tests can be used as many times a year as necessary to identify problem areas and chart progress. Accelerated Math automatically scores assignments and tests and manages record-keeping.

The State Board of Education designated ten high school courses as the basis for End-of-Course examinations. The Select Oversight Committee on Education of the Tennessee General Assembly subsequently affirmed the State Board's recommendation. The revised End-of-Course Assessment Program will include Algebra I (also taken by Math for Technology II students), Algebra II, Geometry, Math Foundations II, Biology I (also taken by Biology for Technology I students), Physical Science, Chemistry, English I, English II and US History. All ten of the End-of-Course Assessments will count as part of the course grade for any student enrolled in the related course. Development of the Algebra II, Geometry, Physical Science, Chemistry, and US History tests is currently on hold at the state level.

This year, a new math practice program is being used with Grades 8-12 called Accelerated Math. Teachers may use Accelerated Math for additional practice and assessment for grade-level math standards as well as for targeting gaps in students’ previous learning. In class, students work independently on practice worksheets or with a teacher or partner on intervention exercises before testing for mastery of an objective.
