Mathematics

All students will be required to take Algebra I, Geometry, and one other mathematics course beyond Geometry.

A student must pass both semesters of Algebra I before enrolling in Geometry or any other mathematics course

beyond Algebra I. Students are required to take Algebra I and Geometry prior to enrollment in the next level of

mathematics. In each sequence specified career tech courses may be used to count as a student’s third math credit if

the course is taught by a highly qualified mathematics teacher.

Mathematics courses should integrate the processes of problem solving, communication, reasoning,

connections, and representation. The increasing role of technology in instruction will alter the teaching and learning

of mathematics. Calculators and computers should integrate throughout the curriculum so that the students can

concentrate on the problem-solving process as well as the calculations associated with problems.

Recommended Course of Study to meet the requirement for three units of math:

The following sequences will allow students to meet the graduation requirement for Mathematics.
