Our board-adopted math curriculum for Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 is Illustrative Mathematics. IM K–12 Math™ is fully aligned to the focus, rigor, and coherence of the standards, and has been given the stamp of approval by EdReports, earning perfect scores in the areas of Focus & Coherence and Rigor & Mathematical Practices. The scope and sequence of units, activities, and representations are designed to help students develop a deep understanding of mathematical concepts, build fluency with procedures, and solve mathematical problems that reflect their lived experiences.
After learning Algebra 1 and Geometry, students have a variety of options to choose from based on their interests and post-high school plans. See below for additional course offerings.
For Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2, students and families can access curricular resources through the Kendall Hunt Illustrative Math website. The "For Students" materials contain lessons, practice problems, and a glossary for each course. The "For Families" materials include written summaries describing the major learning for each unit and sample tasks to try at home. Algebra 1 "For Families" pages also contain videos describing the major learning for each unit.
Another resource that provides videos, lessons, and practice problems is Khan Academy. Links to specific Khan Academy courses are provided below, and more courses can be found on the Khan Academy site. Note that the Khan Academy units of study do not necessarily match the order and naming of units from the Illustrative Math curriculum.
Challenge exams for math are available for any student scheduled to take Math 6 - Geometry next year (typically, students in grades 5 - 9) as an opportunity to demonstrate proficiency and accelerate in the math sequence. Challenge exams are optional and are only recommended for students proficient in the content for the next math course in the sequence (not just the course they are currently enrolled in). Challenge exams are offered once per year in June. Students must register during the registration window, typically open for several weeks immediately following spring break.
