Mathematics Graduation Requirements

To graduate with a High School Diploma in the State of Florida, students must meet the following requirements related to Mathematics:

• 1 credit in Algebra 1

• 1 credit in Geometry

• 2 credits in other Mathematics courses beyond Geometry

  • • Note: Seminole County Public Schools has as an expectation that students take 4 credits of Mathematics in high school.

• Demonstrated Proficiency on the Algebra 1 End-of-Course Exam (or qualified concordant score)

1200310 Algebra 1 Standard

1206310 Geometry Standard

Students who tend to struggle in Math courses are recommended to take these two courses to fulfill their first two Mathematics Graduation Requirements. Final grades in these courses are based upon classroom performance throughout the year and performance on the State End-of-Course Exams.

1200320 Algebra 1 Honors

1206320 Geometry Honors

Students who tend to meet or exceed expectations in their Math courses are recommended to take these two courses to fulfill their first two Mathematics Graduation Requirements. Final grades in these courses are based upon classroom performance throughout the year and performance on the State End-of-Course Exams.

1207350 Math for College Liberal Arts

1200710 Math for College Algebra

1200384 Math for Data and Financial Literacy (4th Year Only)

1210300 Probability and Statistics Honors

These courses are intended to provide third- and fourth-year students with basic math skills opportunities to improve those skills and learn real-life applications for those concepts.

Math for College Liberal Arts and Math for Data and Financial Literacy are recommended for students who have not met their Algebra 1 EOC Graduation Requirement or earned a qualifying concordant score.

Math for College Algebra and Probability and Statistics Honors are recommended for students who have met their Algebra 1 EOC Graduation Requirement or earned a qualifying concordant score.

Each of these courses fulfill the High School Graduation Requirements for Mathematics Courses beyond Geometry.

1200330 Algebra 2 Standard

1200340 Algebra 2 Honors

Algebra 2 is recommended for students intending to pursue college-level Mathematics work while in High School.

Standard is recommended for third-year students who demonstrated proficiency in Geometry, but may not be ready for the rigor of Honors-level mathematics coursework.

Honors is recommended for second- and third-year students who have demonstrated success in Geometry Honors.

Fourth-year students with demonstrated success in Geometry Honors and Math for College Algebra are encouraged to consider MAC 1105 instead of Algebra 2.

Each of these courses fulfill the High School Graduation Requirements for Mathematics Courses beyond Geometry.

MAC 1105 College Algebra (on-campus Dual Enrollment)

This course is strongly recommended for students who may potentially seek a degree from a 2- or 4-year state college after high school graduation. Students must meet the requirements for participation in Dual Enrollment through Seminole State College.

This on-campus Dual Enrollment opportunity prepares students who may not have previously been on a college pathway in their mathematics coursework for success at the next level.

1202305 AP Statistics

AP Statistics is recommended for fourth-year students who have demonstrated success in Honors-level mathematics coursework previously and are ready for pre-collegiate rigor, but do not seek to start down the path of Calculus.

Students who pass the AP Statistics assessment will earn Mathematics General Education or Elective credit at most participating colleges and universities.

This course fulfills 1 credit of the High School Graduation Requirement for Mathematics Courses beyond Geometry.

This course contributes to the requirements for the AP Capstone Diploma.

1202305 AP Pre-Calculus

1202310 AP Calculus AB

1202320 AP Calculus BC

It is strongly recommended that students intending to be competitive candidates for state universities, especially those interested in pursuing undergraduate degrees in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) plan to take one or more of these classes while in high school. Successful completion of Algebra 2 is required to take AP Pre-Calculus. While AP Pre-Calculus is a required pre-requisite for AP Calculus AB, the two AP Calculus classes (AB and BC) may be taken together as a block (see below).

Students who pass the AP assessments for these courses will earn Mathematics General Education or Elective credit at most participating colleges and universities.

Each of these courses fulfill the High School Graduation Requirements for Mathematics Courses beyond Geometry.

These courses contribute to the requirements for the AP Capstone Diploma.

120231001 AP Calculus AB (Co-enrolled with BC)

120232001 AP Calculus BC (Co-enrolled with AB)

Strongly motivated third- and fourth-year students interested in pursuing undergraduate degrees in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) are encouraged to accelerate their Mathematics coursework by co-enrolling in AP Calculus AB and BC at the same time. These students will have two class periods of instruction during which they will learn the content for both courses at an accelerated rate.

They will take the AP Calculus BC exam in the Spring, through which they can earn the equivalent college credits for AB and/or BC at participating colleges and universities.

Each of these courses fulfill the High School Graduation Requirements for Mathematics Courses beyond Geometry.

These courses contribute to the requirements for the AP Capstone Diploma.
