  1. Taking Math I in 8th grade Parent Meeting August 5, 2019

  2. Taking Math I in 8th grade • Follows the course of study for High School Math I class • Requires taking End-of-Course (EOC) Exam which counts 25% of Final Grade (Do not have to take the 8th grade EOG) • Passing grade means credits toward high school graduation and will show up on child’s transcript (does not affect high school GPA) • A failing grade (lower than 60 for a final grade) will translate into no credit earned and will show up on child’s transcript as failing (does not affect high school GPA); Math I will have to be repeated in the 9th grade • Cannot drop the class after 20 school days

  3. At the High School • Will count as 1 of the 4 math courses needed to graduate, however, 1 math course is encouraged during Senior Year. • A typical sequence for an academic track in high school mathematics might look like this: 9th grade: Math II or Honors Math II 10th grade: Math III or Honors Math III Including an EOC test 11th- 12th grade: Advanced Functions and Models, AP Statistics, Pre-Calculus, AP Calculus, or Honors Discrete Math.

  4. Other things to think about: • Students still need to learn both (8th grade math and Math I) • A lot more needs to be taught, therefore, we will move faster AND there will be more work and higher expectations from the students • Very different from 6th and 7th grade math • Students need to learn that they may have to study this year. • 8th grade 25 standards • Math I 46 standards
