Our decision to adopt an Integrated Mathematics Pathway reflects our commitment to offering students the highest quality mathematics program we can envision. Both pathways cover the exact same Common Core standards as you can see from this chart showing where the standards are located within each course for both the traditional and integrated pathways:Ģ) Why did IUSD select the Integrated Math Pathway? Students enrolled in the integrated pathway arrive at the same point by the end of their third year of higher mathematics instruction as students enrolled in a traditional pathway. This integration allows students to build proficiency and see connections and interrelationships between each domain, each year. The integrated pathway is typically seen internationally and consists of a sequence of three model courses, each of which includes algebra, geometry, trigonometry and statistics standards. Each math course in secondary school covers topics in algebra, geometry, trigonometry and statistics. Integrated mathematics is the term used in the United States to describe the style of mathematics education which integrates many topics or strands of mathematics throughout each year of secondary school. Incoming seventh graders will be placed in Math 7 and incoming eighth graders will be placed in Math 8.Ĭhinese ( Simplified ) ( Traditional ) (Rev. Students not participating in summer testing will be placed in the grade-level math course. More information is available at the school site front office or at One Stop Enrollment. The tests are held during the summer before school starts. Students who are new to IUSD and will be entering either 7th or 8th grade in the 2018-2019 school year are eligible to take the summer math tests. Classroom end of course exams will be used to measure mastery of grade-level standards. The District’s criteria for placement in middle school mathematics is now based on multiple measures including classroom grades, assessment of grade level standards and prerequisite skills, and teacher appraisal of a student's mathematical habits and practices. Please see flowcharts below for additional information regarding our math placement process and criteria.Īs indicated in these flowcharts, to augment appropriate student placement within the secondary math pathway, the placement process has been revised to allow for a more comprehensive picture of student readiness to accelerate. IUSD recognizes that the mastery of mathematics prerequisite skills, as indicated in the placement flowcharts, are essential for successful completion of four years of high school mathematics and science courses. The graphics below provide simpler views of various paths that students could take through their middle and high school years.

Together these standards address both the “habits of mind” that students should develop to foster mathematical understanding and the content that students need to know and be able to do.ĬA Common Core State Standards Mathematics The California Common Core State Standards for Mathematics include two types of standards: Eight Mathematical Practice Standards (identical for Kindergarten - grade 12) and Mathematical Content Standards (different at each grade level).
