Integrated Math Pilot

Proposal

1. Integrated mathematics is the term used in the United States to describe the style of
mathematics education which integrates many topics or strands of mathematics throughout
each year of secondary school.

2. Our pilot will specifically target students who would have been enrolled in Math
Foundations. They will take Algebra and over the course of their freshman and sophomore
year. Pre-Algebra skills would be covered the first semester and Geometry would still be
introduced sophomore year. This is a one period class.
