Curriculum: Middle School

LISD middle school curriculum servers as the bridge between the foundations taught in elementary school and the exploration of skills and talents in high school. Through middle school, students can discover their passions and strengths to prepare them for high school.

Mathematics

Calculator icon

In an effort to support our Leander ISD mathematicians in Grade 8 math through Grade 12 math, the district provides appropriate handheld calculator devices at every secondary campus. Students in the courses where a device is needed will have access to a handheld graphing calculator while on our campuses. If a student or family desires their own personal device to own and use, Leander ISD recommends that students purchase the TI-84 Plus CE Graphing Calculator to support their learning experience in and away from the classroom. This is only a recommendation and not a requirement.
