General Math Information
►Three credits of mathematics are required to graduate from GHS.
►Algebra 2 is the minimum requirement for a 4-year college.
►A grade of C- or better is required to advance in the standard path (Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, AP Precalculus).
►Algebra 1A/1B, Applied Geometry and Intermediate Algebra are not NCAA Core Courses.
►FVCC courses require a placement score.

Individual Learning Pathway (ILP) format
►Courses offered in the ILP format denote a self-paced course, not a teacher-directed pacing or whole-class instruction.
►Students complete course objectives within a classroom structure independently with teacher guidance and feedback.
►Courses objectives are completed by each student independent of other student’s pace in the same course.
►Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 will be offered in the new ILP format as well as the traditional teacher-paced instruction format.  All other math courses will be delivered in the traditional teacher-paced instruction format.

STEM DISTINCTION
The STEM distinction acknowledges graduating seniors that complete a plan emphasizing a STEM focus in one of three STEM pathways: Science, Engineering or Math.  To be eligible for this distinction, the student must complete all requirements in one of the three pathways. Students earning this distinction are eligible to wear a purple distinction cord at graduation.
