The mission of the Banting Math Department is to provide an educational experience in mathematics that helps students prepare for successful roles in an ever changing society.
This will be accomplished through our commitment to excellent teaching and a supportive environment for all our students. To support this mission we will be committed to professional development, making real world connections, and incorporating technology.
Students will be challenged to develop skills in analysis, reasoning, creativity, collaborative learning, and self-expression as they gain knowledge of mathematics. We will maintain high academic and behavioral expectations and try to make every classroom minute count. Efforts will be made to direct students to realize their full potential.
**NEW : Banting is offering FREE tutoring to students after school. Parents can contact the student's guidance counsellor/sert or classroom teacher to be placed on a list. Details will follow.
