  1. 4 x 4 Math Requirements Unraveling the mystery….

  2. 4 x 4 Math Requirements • The following information from the Texas Education Code was extracted from the TEA website. • Content not pertaining to mathematics 4 x 4 requirements has been deleted! • The full version is available at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/rules/tac/chapter074/ch074f.html

  3. §74.62. Minimum High School Program. (a)  Credits. A student must earn at least 22 credits to complete the Minimum High School Program. (b)  Core Courses. A student must demonstrate proficiency in the following. (2)  Mathematics--three credits to include Algebra I and Geometry.

  4. §74.63. Recommended High School Program. (a)  Credits. A student must earn at least 26 credits to complete the Recommended High School Program. (b)  Core Courses. A student must demonstrate proficiency in the following: (2)  Mathematics--four credits. (A)  The credits must consist of Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry. After successful completion of Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II, a student may select the fourth required credit from any of the following courses, except as provided in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph: (i)  Precalculus; (ii)  Independent Study in Mathematics; (iii)  Advanced Placement (AP) Statistics; (iv)  AP Calculus AB; (v)  AP Calculus BC; (vi)  AP Computer Science; (vii)  International Baccalaureate (IB) Mathematical Studies Subsidiary Level; (viii)  IB Mathematical Methods Subsidiary Level; (ix)  IB Mathematics Higher Level; (x)  IB Advanced Mathematics Subsidiary Level; (xi)  concurrent enrollment in college mathematics courses; and (xii)  Mathematical Models with Applications. (B)  If selected, Mathematical Models with Applications must be taken prior to Algebra II.

  5. §74.64. Distinguished Achievement High School Program--Advanced High School Program. (a)  Credits. A student must earn at least 26 credits to complete the Distinguished Achievement High School Program. (b)  Core Courses. A student must demonstrate proficiency in the following: (2)  Mathematics--four credits. The credits must consist of Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry and an additional SBOE- approved mathematics course for which Algebra II is a prerequisite.

  6. So what does it all mean? A look at scheduling…

  7. 4 x 4 Recommended Plan

  8. 4 x 4 Distinguished Plan

  9. Implications For Course Sequencing • Algebra I taken in the 8th Grade counts toward the 4 x 4 requirements (Both 8th Grade TEKS as well as Algebra I TEKS must be covered!) • Early identification of student abilities, performance is very important. (Algebra II or Math Models?) • Exit Level Math TAKS is high stakes until EOC’s are fully implemented (incoming freshman 2011-2012).
