The mathematics course path varies from Magnet student to Magnet student, as Magnet students don't all enter the Magnet having taken the same courses in middle school. Some enter having taken Algebra I in the 8th grade, others took Geometry or higher mathematics course. So some incoming Magnet students enter the Magnet mathematics course path at the beginning, while some start in the middle. Either way, students proceed from their own particular starting point through to the end of the required courses. In addition to the required courses, Magnet students can fill the rest of their MCPS mathematics requirements with the mathematics electives.

The first required course is Magnet Geometry. This two-semester course covers geometry, proofs, problem solving, and more. Next up is either Magnet Precalculus or Magnet Functions. While both courses cover the same basic material, Functions is an accelerated two-semester course, while Precalculus is takes three semesters to complete. Both cover algebra topics, trigonometry, and other precalculus subject areas. The last of the required courses is Magnet Analysis I, a two-semester course which is very similar to an A.P. Calculus course.

There are also a number of mathematics electives in the Magnet. Students who finish Analysis I before their Senior year often go onto take Magnet Analysis II, also known as Multivariable Calculus & Differential Equations, the only two-semester mathematics elective (the other electives are one semester each). Those who also finish Analysis II in time can take Complex Analysis, a study of functions that involve complex number variables.

Other electives include Applied Statistics, a must for anyone planning to enter the sciences, Linear Algebra, which includes the study of the theory and practice of matrices and determinants applicable to engineering, economics, and a wide variety of sciences, and Discrete Mathematics, a course involved with non-continuous mathematics, especially useful in computer science.
