Find Yourself Here!Students who like to work with numbers, problem solve from a mathematical point of view, learn about science, conduct experiments, engage in scientific research or do mathematical modeling will find the Math & Science Magnet program offers a variety of core and elective classes. Students can participate in Science Fair, Science Bowl, Science Olympiad, Math Team, COMAP, and Computer Club among the many clubs and honor societies offered, and participate in many local, regional and global competitions. Math & Science MagnetThe magnet program allows students who meet the academic entrance requirements to pursue an interest in math or science through additional math and science elective requirements reflected in a transcript that shows depth and rigor. Students interested in the Math/Science Magnet must apply, have an overall 85 GPA and maintain an 85 GPA in their Math and Sciences courses. Students may focus their classes in mathematics or science or both. For a more indepth look at the program, click here. Our MissionInspiring a lasting depth of knowledge in math and science through logic, research and applications. |
Mathematics  The mathematics curriculum involves problem-solving, communication, reasoning and connecting through the study of numbers and operations on them. Algebra, functions, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, probability and the conceptual underpinnings of calculus and mathematical structure are part of the Georgia Performance Standards that focuses on mastery and application of key concepts. Core Requirements All students must earn 4 core math units over 4 years. Courses are offered on 3 levels: regular, honors and advanced placement. Magnet RequirementsMagnet students must take 4 additional math or science electives over 4 years. COMAP 2016 
Over 65 students participated in the 36hr global math modeling competition known as COMAP on November 11-13, 2016.
STEAM Advisory Board visits GSMST  NS Strategic Plan explores becoming STEAM certified; to see what that could mean advisory members visited the #1 ranked school in GA- Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science & Technology. Magnet Night 
| Science 
The Science Department offers a range of courses for students to study a variety of topics in a problem based/project-based learning environment. Objectives and goals from national standards and Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) are incorporated into the science courses. The curriculum is designed to enhance students understanding of science, enabling them to become environmentally, scientifically and technologically literate. Core Requirements All students must earn 4 core science units over 4 years which must include Biology, Chemistry, and Physics or Forsenic Science or Environmental Science. Courses are offered on 3 levels: regular, honors and advanced placement. Magnet RequirementsMagnet students must take 4 additional math or science electives over 4 years. Full STEAM Ahead STEAM Ambassadors at SSCMS!   September 22nd - 16 Spartans served as STEAM ambassadors helping with Sandy Springs Middle School's very successful STEAM Night. Thanks to Mrs. Davis, Dr. Chapman and the following students: Paul Anthony, Vaiyon Caphart, Lynn Hammonds, Gabriel Davis, Zalia Weathers, Amari Mosby, Mercedes Tillman, Rachael Simpson, Julia Echeumuna, Lene Huggins, Vanessa Paredes, Zayda Sims, RaShylah Black, Kelly Cuevas, Katie Miller and Neema Zayed. It's just the beginning of collaborating with our feeder schools on STEAM!
