YES! Pilot teachers across Oregon are running this course in 2026-2027, which plans for another cohort of pilot teachers in 2027-2028.
If you are interested in teaching MTH 108 as a dual credit course, please complete this interest form to join our grant activities, which include paid training and support.
As part of this project, we are expanding access to Sponsored Dual Credit, so most high school math teachers qualify. If your local college does not offer MTH 108, you can articulate with our statewide Sponsored Dual Credit partner, Clackamas Community College.

This course is approved for use at:
Clackamas Community College
Portland State University ("STAT 108", with plans to transition to "MTH 108")
Clatsop Community College
Southwest Oregon Community College
Mt. Hood Community College
Portland Community College ("STAT 108")
Our course design team researched available math course numbers and found that 108 is not currently in use.
We chose the MTH prefix to indicate the utility of this course as 100-level math credit.
Design decisions were made with statewide use in mind. For elements like course name and learning outcomes, the design team reviewed input session responses, researched current course offerings in Oregon, and considered what would work best across institutions. Learn more in this report.
To remove access barriers, Math 108 has limited technology requirements, although course materials are NOT tablet-friendly (use a desktop, laptop, or Chromebook).
Technology overview:
Free, browser-based software (PositCloud, Google Sheets, CODAP)
Use of software/student accounts widely approved by technology departments
Learn more in this report.
Why R was selected:
Our course focuses on data visualizations (R data visualizations are more robust)
PositCloud (free, cloud-based R platform) is approved for use in most K-12 school districts
R has an easier learning curve (compared to Python)
MTH 108 may be a useful course before some students take STAT 243Z and R is the primary coding platform used in Statistics (vs. Python is used more in Computer Science)
R is a spreadsheet-based platform, which allows an easier transition from the spreadsheet activities that proceed the launch into programming
