Math Graduation Requirement: Classes of 2011 and 2012 (current rules)
Students can meet the math assessment requirement with one of the following ways: Previously passed either the HS WASL or HSPE Math tests Earn two credits of math after 10th grade*
Must increase math proficiency Courses must meet/exceed 9th and 10th grade math
standards Pass an EOC or EOC Makeup 1 or 2
Important: Results not available until August Pass a HSPE-like “Comprehensive” exam (not yet funded) Utilize CAA-Options:
SAT, ACT, AP GPA Comparison
* Option not available for the Class of 2013 and beyond

Superintendent Dorn Working with Legislature on Math Options
Superintendent Randy Dorn will be in discussion with key legislators to consider various options, including consideration of:
Allowing students in the classes of 2013 and 2014 to meet the math graduation requirement by passing one EOC or one EOC Makeup
Delaying the science graduation requirement by at least two years, possibly until 2017
Evaluating ways to deliver math and science Collections of Evidence that support this alternative and that are cost-effective
Any changes to requirements has to be approved through the legislature and the governor. You are bound to hear a variety of stories as this legislative process unfolds. We must work under the assumption that no changes will be made. You will be notified of any approved changes.

Geometry need it for graduation requirements; school needs them to participate for AYP.
10th grade students lower than Algebra (required to take state test for AYP) This includes SPED Resource Room students (not
PORT students) Will take Algebra Make-Up
STRONGLY ENCOURAGED / EXPECTED 11-12th grade students can use to meet math requirement Junior High Students who have already taken Algebra and
Geometry can bank scores for high school graduation requirement.

State Make-Up Tests (Algebra & Geometry): BSD Initial Recommendations Junior High Geometry students should wait until
Advanced Algebra to take the “Yr 1 Make-Up (Algebra)”. This allows Geometry classes to focus exclusively on
Geometry PEs and students to focus exclusively on the Geometry EOC.
Current Advanced Algebra Students should take the “Yr 1 Make-Up (Algebra)” and “Yr 2 Make-Up (Geometry)” (unless requirement changes to just one test)
10th grade lower than Algebra (including resource room, but not PORTFOLIO students) will take the Yr 1Make-Up test (Algebra).

Each district will set a common schedule for its school(s) within the last three weeks of the district’s school year.
The EOCs will be paper/pencil booklets, designed to be administered in intact classrooms at the end of the course.
OSPI will use student class rosters provided through CEDARS to pre-print booklets by district/school/teacher/class-period.
How long will the EOCs take? Designed to be taken in 2.5 50-minute periods (with the first
half-period as the directions) Un-timed test
How long will the Make-Ups take? The Make-Ups will be approximately 2 hours (untimed) Scheduled on days after the EOC

o OR a third mathematics credit chosen per the student’s educational and career goals as expressed in the High School and Beyond Plan
CTE-equivalent courses may be used for any of the math credits. Bethel School District is currently examining which CTE

NClass of 2013 Math Graduation CREDIT Requirements: Recent Changes to Rule
The State Board of Education made changes to the math rule at their September 2010 meeting to:
Permit students to take two required math courses at the same time (e.g., algebra 1 and geometry)
Clarify the expected sequence of classes Permit students not to take a required course as
long as they earn three math credits in high school AND take advanced algebra 2/integrated mathematics III

If students have a clearly defined career path, they will have the opportunity to substitute another high school math course for algebra 2/Integrated III, but must obtain parent/guardian and high school approval.
Students may also earn mathematics credits in the relevant career and technical education, or CTE, equivalent courses.

FAQs: Mathematics Credits
Are there specific math credits students have to earn for the first two credits? Yes. Students must earn 1 credit in algebra
1/integrated math 1, and a second credit in geometry/integrated math II, or earn credits in the relevant career and technical education (CTE)-equivalent courses.
Can students take two of the required courses at the same time? Yes, per the rule change effective October 22,
2010.

FAQs: Mathematics Credits
What courses may students take for the third math credit? Students may take algebra 2, integrated math III, or a
rigorous, high school level math course that meets the student’s education and career goals identified in the student’s high school and beyond plan. Courses in which the majority of the math is at a K-8 level would not qualify for the third credit.
The intent of the third credit is to enrich and build upon the experiences of algebra/integrated math I and geometry/integrated math II. Traditional math examples may include, but are not limited to: statistics, discrete math, linear algebra and mathematical modeling.

If students want to take a course other than algebra 2 or integrated math III for their third math credit, what do they have to do? Choose a course that is based on a career-oriented
program of study identified in their high school and beyond plan
Meet with a high school representative and their parent/guardian to discuss their goals and the admission requirements of two and four-year colleges
Sign a form, along with the high school representative and parent/guardian, to acknowledge that: 1) the meeting was held, 2) the required information was discussed, and 3) all parties agree that the course is more appropriate for the student’s education and career goals.

Can a support class in conjunction with algebra work for the third credit? (I.e. Math Lab) No. The support class may count as an elective
credit, but it cannot satisfy the third credit of math. Can students take algebra 1 for two periods and
count it as the first and third credit of math? No. The student can take Algebra and Geometry
the same time. However, they do not have the flexibility of taking the first and third credits at the same time. Equivalent CTE courses may be substituted for all of the courses listed above

We plan to offer a math class designed for those students who haven’t passed one or more of the end-of-course assessments, but have earned the first two credits of math in the designated classes. Could this class count as the third credit of math? Yes, if the following conditions are met:
a) students earned credit in algebra 1/integrated math I and geometry/integrated math II), or in the relevant career and technical education (CTE)-equivalent courses, even though they did not pass one or both of the end-of-course assessments, and
b) the math class is rigorous, high school level math that helps the students meet his or her education and career goals, and
c) the math class is not the same as the original algebra 1/integrated math I and/or geometry/integrated II classes.
