2+1 Course Design Projects
Mathways Grant Projects
The Oregon Department of Education has funded six projects to develop 2+1 course blueprints that will align with the new Oregon state math standards.
Key information:
These projects are facilitated through six of Oregon's STEM Hubs
Project participants will design/pilot 2+1 math courses during SY22-23
These projects will produce course blueprints that will be shared for state-wide use

Project: Core 10 Data Science and +1 Data Science Options, led by Central Oregon STEM
Project Description:
+1 Data Science Course - Jo Boaler and/or Bootstrap:Data Science, Course Kata
A group of teachers will be attending the Virtual Bootstrap Data Science workshop July 18-22. A few teachers attended Jo Boaler's YouCubed Data Science workshop last year and piloted the course in Geometry and as well as a stand-alone course. Teachers will develop a +1 Data Reasoning course using concepts out of both curricula and potentially also Course Kata.

Project: +1 Financial Algebra, led by Oregon Coast STEM
Project Description: The Financial Algebra Course engages students with real-world financial applications while maintaining deep mathematical rigor. The 10 units include: Taxes, Checking, Savings, Budgeting, Intro to Investing, Investing Strategies, Types of Credit, Managing Credit, Paying for College and Insurance. This course will be heavily collaboration and project based. Students will be required to use google drive, docs and sheets on a regular basis. This course has a distinction of Algebra 1 or higher.
Dates of work/commitment: This course will be piloted during the 2022-2023 school year.
How to join: If you are interested in seeing this pilot course in action contact Alisha Powell to schedule an observation.
