These recommendations will be presented for approval from the CRT.

36. 9.30.2010 | Slide 36 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Class of 2013 Math Graduation CREDIT Requirements: Recent Changes to Rule  The State Board of Education made changes to the math rule at their September 2010 meeting to:  Permit students to take two required math courses at the same time (e.g., algebra 1 and geometry)  Clarify the expected sequence of classes  Permit students not to take a required course as long as they earn three math credits in high school AND take advanced algebra 2/integrated mathematics III

37. 9.30.2010 | Slide 37 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Third credit of Mathematics option  If students have a clearly defined career path, they will have the opportunity to substitute another high school math course for algebra 2/Integrated III, but must obtain parent/guardian and high school approval.  Students may also earn mathematics credits in the relevant career and technical education, or CTE, equivalent courses.

38. 9.30.2010 | Slide 38 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION FAQs: Mathematics Credits  Are there specific math credits students have to earn for the first two credits?  Yes. Students must earn 1 credit in algebra 1/integrated math 1, and a second credit in geometry/integrated math II, or earn credits in the relevant career and technical education (CTE)- equivalent courses.  Can students take two of the required courses at the same time?  Yes, per the rule change effective October 22, 2010.

39. 9.30.2010 | Slide 39 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION FAQs: Mathematics Credits  What courses may students take for the third math credit?  Students may take algebra 2, integrated math III, or a rigorous, high school level math course that meets the student’s education and career goals identified in the student’s high school and beyond plan. Courses in which the majority of the math is at a K-8 level would not qualify for the third credit.  The intent of the third credit is to enrich and build upon the experiences of algebra/integrated math I and geometry/integrated math II. Traditional math examples may include, but are not limited to: statistics, discrete math, linear algebra and mathematical modeling.

40. 9.30.2010 | Slide 40 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION  If students want to take a course other than algebra 2 or integrated math III for their third math credit, what do they have to do?  Choose a course that is based on a career-oriented program of study identified in their high school and beyond plan  Meet with a high school representative and their parent/guardian to discuss their goals and the admission requirements of two and four-year colleges  Sign a form, along with the high school representative and parent/guardian, to acknowledge that: 1) the meeting was held, 2) the required information was discussed, and 3) all parties agree that the course is more appropriate for the student’s education and career goals. FAQs: Mathematics Credits

41. 9.30.2010 | Slide 41 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION  Would career and technical education (CTE) mathematics courses satisfy the third credit of mathematics?  Yes. If the majority of the course is high school level math, the title of the class is immaterial. FAQs: Mathematics Credits

42. 9.30.2010 | Slide 42 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION  Can a support class in conjunction with algebra work for the third credit? (I.e. Math Lab)  No. The support class may count as an elective credit, but it cannot satisfy the third credit of math.  Can students take algebra 1 for two periods and count it as the first and third credit of math?  No. The student can take Algebra and Geometry the same time. However, they do not have the flexibility of taking the first and third credits at the same time. Equivalent CTE courses may be substituted for all of the courses listed above FAQs: Mathematics Credits

43. 9.30.2010 | Slide 43 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION  We plan to offer a math class designed for those students who haven’t passed one or more of the end-of-course assessments, but have earned the first two credits of math in the designated classes. Could this class count as the third credit of math?  Yes, if the following conditions are met: a) students earned credit in algebra 1/integrated math I and geometry/integrated math II), or in the relevant career and technical education (CTE)-equivalent courses, even though they did not pass one or both of the end-of-course assessments, and b) the math class is rigorous, high school level math that helps the students meet his or her education and career goals, and c) the math class is not the same as the original algebra 1/integrated math I and/or geometry/integrated II classes.
