HIGH SCHOOL MATH ACCELERATION

High School Acceleration Pathway What if you don’t accelerate in middle school? What if you accelerated in middle school, where will you end up? How do you end up enrolling in higher math courses, such as AP Calculus and AP Statistics & Probability? Entering 9th Grade starting with Algebra 1 Entering 9th Grade starting with Geometry Entering 9th Grade starting with Algebra 2

HIGH SCHOOL Math Pathways Starting point: Algebra i CC Algebra 1 CC Geometry CC Algebra 2 Other higher level math course H Advanced Math AP Calculus *AB Intro to Data Science AP Statistics or Pre-Calculus Grade 9 Grade 10 Grade 11 Grade 12 Students can take AP Calc AB or BC Two New Courses Explain the 2 pathways that come from a student entering 9th. When you get to the course about H Advanced Math let participants know that you will describe in detail this course in the next slide. This will allow you to explain the BC option that leads from the H Advance Math course.

HIGH SCHOOL Math Pathways Starting point: geometry CC Geometry CC Algebra 2 Pre-Calculus AP Calculus AB H Advanced Math AP Calculus *AB Other higher level math course or AP Calculus BC Intro to Data Science AP Statistics or Pre-Calculus Other higher level math course Grade 9 Grade 10 Grade 11 Grade 12 Explain the 2 pathways that come from a student entering 9th.

This will allow you to explain the BC option that leads from the H Advance Math course.

H ADVANCE MATH NEW High School course Algebra II Standards Pre-Calculus Standards Some Calculus A standards To be taken after Geometry as approved by a criteria Covers 2.5 math courses in 1 year

NEW High School course INTRO TO DATA SCIENCE Algebra II Standards CCSS High School Stats & Prob. Preps for AP Stats Validates Algebra 2 for A-G To be taken after Geometry, no criteria needed

What are your Take aways? Concurrent enrollment [Alg 1/Geo or Geo/Alg 2] New Courses Intro to Data Science Honors Advanced Math Options to accelerate in high school are numerous (over 174 identified options) – Be creative! Bottom line – Common Core provides universal access for all students to accelerate regardless of where they begin

Meeting the HS Graduation Requirements for Math Understanding the requirements and the validation process

Math requirements for grad Successful completion of Algebra 1 with D or better Requirement 2 20 credits of high school math with D or better Requirement 3 Successful completion of 3 math courses with C or better through validation

CDE requires that all students pass Algebra 1 with a D or higher Requirement 1 Class of 2015, 2016, 2017 & 2018 CDE requires that all students pass Algebra 1 with a D or higher

Requirement 2 Class of 2015, 2016, 2017 & 2018 CDE requires 20 credits (4 semesters) of high school math with D or better

Requirement 3 Class of 2017 & 2018 LAUSD requires successful completion of 3 math courses with C or better through validation (A-G completion) Definition of Validation: when a student has successfully completed advanced work (C or better) in an area of sequential knowledge

Requirement 3 - defined Validations for Math: C or better in second semester of Alg 1 validates the entire year (1 course) C or better in second semester of Geo validates the entire year (1 course) Each semester of Geometry must be attempted C or better in second semester of Alg 2 validates both Algebra 1 & 2 (2 courses)

Requirement 3 - defined Validations for Math (continued): C or better in second semester of Statistics validates both Algebra 1 & 2 (2 courses) C or better in second semester of Pre-Calculus validates entire A-G requirement (3 courses)

Did he meet his Grad requirement? Ben has NOT completed his Grad requirement for Math How might you help Ben meet his requirement? Focus on getting a “C” in Algebra 2 B only  Scenario 3 Ben’s Math Grade Did he meet his Grad requirement? Course Year Grade Credits Alg 1 9th D 10 Geo A 10th F Geo B C 5 Alg 2 A 11th Alg 2 B Algebra 1 20 Credits A-G

Final thoughts If students pass each math course with C or better, all requirements will be met.
