Enhancing Mathematics Education at PVPHS: Curriculum, Testing, and Student Support

The PVPHS Mathematics Department emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive math education by encouraging students to engage in four years of mathematics while offering classes at various levels to cater to all skill sets. Our rigorous curriculum challenges students, and we provide necessary support for those who struggle. While maintaining traditional approaches to math instruction, we are committed to integrating the Standards of Mathematical Practice into our teaching. Upcoming changes in testing, including the SBAC assessment, will shape future mathematics pathways at the high school level.

  1. PVPHS Mathematics - Transitions

  2. PVPHS Mathematics Department • Encourage students to take 4 years of mathematics • Offer multiple levels of classes to meet the needs of all students • Challenge students with rigorous curriculum • Provide support and intervention for struggling students - PVPHS Mathematics Resources Handout

  3. What’s coming… • No integrated mathematics curriculum – we will remain with the traditional approach • No changes in math textbooks for 2014-2015 • Curriculum will be supplemented and supported to meet any changes in standards • Currently encouraging teachers to reflect upon their practices and incorporate the 8 Standards of Mathematical Practice

  4. 8 Standards for Mathematical Practicehttp://www.corestandards.org/Math/Practice/

  5. Testing 2013-2014 • At PVPHS preliminary SBAC testing will happen in April – scores will not be reported – all 9th graders will participate in only ELA this year • 10th Graders will still take the CAHSEE – current pass rate for 1st time is 98-99% • 11th Graders in Algebra 2 or above will still take the CST test for mathematics, they will also take the EAP portion of the test http://www.csusuccess.org/eap

  6. Future Testing…. • Testing at the high school level with be done through SBAC and will be 11th grade only starting in 2014-2015 • CAHSEE next year – possibly still administered to 10th grade students • EAP for 11th graders may still be in place next year but will eventually be replaced with SBAC Testing • Middle schools will test students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades through SBAC starting next year

  7. What else is happening? • Increased dialogue with teachers from elementary through high school mathematics • Algebra 1 will no longer be considered an 8th grade level class by Common Core pacing – a large percentage of our students will still take Algebra 1 in 8th grade • Focus on applications, cooperative work, more statistics, and a deeper understanding of material • To do this we still need to concentrate on a comprehensive understanding of the basics • Changes to future pathways will still offer multiple pathways and areas for advancement
