Department Overview

The Mathematics Department at Pangani Girls Senior School is dedicated to developing logical thinking, analytical skills, and problem-solving abilities in our students. We believe mathematics is not just about numbers but about understanding patterns, structures, and relationships.

Our curriculum is designed to build strong foundational skills while challenging students to apply mathematical concepts to real-world situations. We emphasize conceptual understanding over rote memorization, fostering a deep appreciation for the beauty and utility of mathematics.
