Teacher recommendation (very important)
Student passed Algebra I and Geometry*, but with
difficulty, possibly earning failing grades in one or more
grading periods and/or repeating one course.
Teacher recommendation (very important)
Student MUST have passed Algebra I and Geometry,
preferably without extreme difficulty (earning an
overall grade better than minimal passing)
* Math Models may NOT be taken concurrently with Algebra 2. However, the prerequisite for Math Models is Algebra 1, so Math
Models could be taken concurrently with Geometry. Math Models must be taken and passed prior to taking Algebra 2. As long as a
student has NOT earned credit for Algebra 2, Math Models may be taken and counted as one math credit for graduation on the 4 x 4.
