Algebra I and Future Ready Math

This elective course is designed to support students’ learning of the mathematical skills necessary to be successful in high school mathematics courses. Students may qualify for this course based on achievement data, universal screening results, and/or previous math course grades.

This two-term sequence is designed for students with qualifying disabilities who enter high school not ready to start Algebra I. These courses will explore and apply concepts, processes, and skills that are essential to successfully completing the high school graduation requirement. The first term is spent integrating pre-algebra and introductory algebra skills. More time is devoted to skill development than is possible in the one-term Algebra I class.

*Students with qualifying disabilities as documented in the IEP may earn math credit for Algebra IA. Students with qualifying disabilities may also take Algebra I A for the term in their freshman year and Algebra I B for the term in their sophomore year.

Prerequisite: Successful completion of the middle school mathematics curriculum which includes pre-algebraic concepts.

This course includes properties of the real number system, linear and quadratic systems, inequalities, operations on real numbers and polynomials, exponents and radicals. Students learn the language of algebra and practice the application of algebraic concepts to real world problems. The Mathematical Practice Standards apply throughout this course and, together with the content standards, prescribe that students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations.

Prerequisite: Placement is determined by student data

For a description of course topics, see the description for Algebra I.

This course is for students who excelled in middle school mathematics. Course content covers the topics of Algebra I in greater depth and at a faster pace, providing time for enrichment through the study of additional performance objectives.

Students must successfully meet district and teacher expectations in the completion of honors criteria each grading period.

Honors criteria activities may involve complex problem-solving research involving reading/writing, investigations and explorations, advanced use of technology, and making connections within the discipline and to the workplace.
