Extended and Accelerated Math Criteria in Middle School

Options are available in middle school for students to extend and accelerate their learning of mathematics. In grade 6, Math 6EX extends grade 6 content using rigorous tasks and applications.  In grade 7, Transitional Algebra accelerates beyond grade-level content.  Throughout this course, students are taught a combination of grade 7 and grade 8 standards in preparation for Honors Algebra 1 in grade 8.  Honors Algebra 1 in grade 8 is a credit-bearing, high school course that is taught with the same expectations and rigor as the high school version.  This course also includes additional prerequisite concepts that are traditionally taught in grade 8.  

Enrollment in extended and accelerated middle school courses are based on student performance data including course grades, MCAP Mathematics Assessment and NWEA MAP Growth Assessment.  

Descriptions of courses can be found in the course catalog for the current school year.
