Note: This course of study is contingent on the success in each course.

Course Overview:  Math 6/7 is a course designed to move at an accelerated rate to include both 6th and 7th grade standards within the same domains. Students will explore and develop an understanding of the following mathematical concepts and their application:

• computational fluency with decimals and fractions,

• integer operations,

• ratios and proportional reasoning (including percent application),

• algebraic expressions and equations,

• area, surface area, and volume,

• statistical questions, measures and displays.

Students will build a deeper understanding of standards within the Expressions and Equations domain needed for Algebra I. 

The course will use the county approved text for Math 6/7 along with ALPs curriuclum materials. If students are successful in this course, they will take Math 7/8 in Grade 7. 

Prerequisites: Earn a PLD 3 or higher on MCAP, an average District Quarterly Assessment score of at least 75%, and an on-grade-level or above designation on the most recent i-Ready diagnostic.   Successful completion of the appropriate Summer Bridge course with a pass rate greater than or equal to 75% is required for students to move from the on-grade level pathway to the accelerated pathway. 

Course Overview:  Math 7/8 is the completion of the sequence for students to enter Algebra I in an accelerated pathway. Mathematics 7/8 is a course designed to move at an accelerated rate to include both 7th and 8th grade standards within the same domains. Students will explore and develop an understanding of the following mathematical concepts and their application: 

• two-step and multi-step equations and inequalities,

• ratios and proportional reasoning (extending to slope),

• proportional and non-proportional relationships,

• probability, sampling and populations; rational and irrational numbers,

• radicals and exponents,

• and the Pythagorean Theorem. 

Students will refine their understanding of standards within the Expressions and Equations domain needed for Algebra 1.  

This course will use the county approved text for Math 7/8 along with ALPs curriculum materials. If students are successful in this course, they will take Algebra I in Grade 8. 

Prerequisites: Earn a PLD 3 or higher on MCAP, an average District Quarterly Assessment score of at least 75%, and an on-grade-level or above designation on the most recent i-Ready diagnostic.   Successful completion of the appropriate Summer Bridge course with a pass rate greater than or equal to 75% is required for students to move from the on-grade level pathway to the accelerated pathway. 

Course Overview:  This high school graduation requirement course serves as the gateway for advanced mathematical courses in high school. Students will explore and develop an understanding of the following mathematical concepts and their application: 

• systems of equations, 

• data analysis and modeling,

• exponential equations, 

• quadratic functions, 

• and critical analysis of linear and non-linear functions.

Instructional emphasis is placed on connecting the multiple representations of functions and interpreting the representations through application. Students are required to take the state-mandated assessment in Algebra at the completion of this course. 

This course will use the county approved text for Algebra I. If students are successful in this course, they will take Honors Geometry in Grade 9.

Prerequisites: Earn a PLD 3 or higher on MCAP, an average District Quarterly Assessment score of at least 75%, and an on-grade-level or above designation on the most recent i-Ready diagnostic.   Successful completion of the appropriate Summer Bridge course with a pass rate greater than or equal to 75% is required for students to move from the on-grade level pathway to the accelerated pathway.
