  4. Secondary Math Placement CC1 CC2 GFA Placement Test Administered CC2/GFA GFA/ALG1 * Minimum B- to continue

  5. UC Qualified Pathway with No Acceleration CC2 GFA GEO ALG1 ALG2- CC1 PRECAL TRIG

  6. How can my child get to accelerated pathway? CC2 CC1 GFA Summer Bridge after CC2 to get into GFA/ALG1 CC2/GFA GFA/ALG1

  7. High school options for acceleration. GEO/Alg2 ALG2-Trig/ AP Cal or PreCal Calculus Trig GEO ALG2-Trig ALG1 PreCal

  9. Additional Path to AP Calculus ALG2/Trig GEO PRECAL ALG2/Trig as an elective class AP Calculus or PRECAL Calculus

  10. Testing Dates & Placement Criteria

  11. Testing Logistics ● Testing Window: March 19th - March 28th ● Two Parts - no time limit ● One day with a break or two separate days ● Every student will take this assessment unless the parent opts out * Contact your school site for specific dates

  12. Test Details ● Covers Standards addressed in Units 1 through 4 of Springboard ○ Test addresses application of the standards ● 20 Questions Each (paper and pencil) ○ Part 1: traditional multiple choice ○ Part 2: non-traditional multiple choice with multiple answers possible

  13. Placement Criteria ● 6th Grade Placement Test, parts 1 and 2 ● SBAC 5th Grade Math Scores (if available) ● 6th Grade District Mid-Year Assessment ● SBAC 6th Grade Math Scores All 6th grade students will be notified of placement in June

  14. Current Statistics School Year Percentage of 7th graders in Accelerated 2017-18 38% 2016-17 39% 2015-16 37%

  15. Placement Criteria ● 6th Grade Placement Test, parts 1 and 2 ○ Standards addressed 6.RP, 6.NS, 6.EE, 6.G ● 6th Grade District Mid-Year Assessment ○ Standards addressed 6.NS, 6.EE

  16. Sample Problem In which of the following situations would (2/5 + 3/10) represent the problem? Select all that apply. A. A farmer planted 2/5 of his 40 acres in corn and another 3/10 of his land in wheat. Taken together, what fraction of the 40 acres had been planted in corn or wheat? B. Allison has a batch of eggs in the incubator. On Monday, 2/5 of the eggs hatched. Three days later, 3/10 of the original batch hatched. How many eggs hatched in all? C. 2/5 of the students in a classroom are girls. 3/10 of the girls wear glasses. What fraction of the class wears glasses? D. Wesley ran 2/5 of a mile on Monday and 3/10 of a mile on Tuesday. What fraction of a mile did he run for both days? Conceptual Understanding of Math Video
