Wayland Patch 2/4/11: Curriculum Tweaks Coming to WHS Next Year. Beginning next year, students at Wayland High School will take geometry before they take algebra II, a curriculum change designed to create continuity between algebra and pre-calculus. "We think the math experience would be much smoother," WHS Principal Pat Tutwiler explained to School Committee members Monday evening. Tutwiler said the expectation is that students would be better prepared for pre-calculus with advanced algebra still in their minds. Tutwiler said that the change was instigated by teachers in the math department who noticed they spent a lot of time reviewing algebra skills with pre-calculus students who spent the previous year in geometry.
