  1. Algebra 2Development Coretta Hoffman Moses Lake School District choffman@mlsd.wednet.edu

  2. Why • Legislative Mandate for a 3rd credit of math • State Board of Education ruling • 3rd credit of HS level math to be taken AFTER successful completion of Algebra and Geometry • 3 options – Algebra 2, CTE course aligned with Algebra 2 standards, other HS math course better aligned to career pathway

  3. More Why  • CTE course aligned to WA Algebra 2 standards didn’t exist • Districts were contacting OSPI for guidance regarding this option

  4. What • Create a course which is application based and aligns to WA State Algebra 2 standards, College Readiness Standards and CTE Standards • Partnership led by key staff from major education agencies • State Board of Education, Kathe Taylor • Transition Math Project, Bill Moore • OSPI, Greta Bornemann and Betty Klattenhoff

  5. Career Cluster Focus: • Architecture and Construction • Finance • Health Science • Information Technology • Manufacturing • Marketing • Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics

  6. Mathematical Focus: • Modeling non-linear functions and systems • Solving non-linear functions and systems • Algebraic transformations and inverse variation • Data analysis and statistical representation

  7. College Readiness Focus: • This course will actively promote and teach the Student Attributes as described in the Washington College Readiness Standards. A student in this course: • Demonstrates intellectual engagement • Takes responsibility for own learning • Perseveres when faced with time-consuming or complex tasks • Pays attention to detail

  8. Who • STUDENTS WHO • have successfully completed Algebra I or Integrated Math I and Geometry or Integrated Math II • prefer a context driven math curriculum • enjoy creating mathematically based products or completing mathematically based projects • need this type of mathematical reasoning for their career paths

  9. When • August 2009 initial planning • December 2009 beginning module development • February 2010 Model module developed • February – July 2010 course development • September 2010 – June 2011 pilot course and modules • September 2011 Implementation (pending funding)

  10. More Information • Algebra2applications wiki • Overview • Modules • Feedback • Contacts • Discussion
