Scope and sequence and many of the tests change on a yearly basis. There are differences in the use and implementation of many of the activities listed below. There should continue to be a desire and interest in exploring alternatives to meet our goals more effectively. Where a plan exists to accomplish the following goals in a more effective fashion, this plan should be communicated to the building and district level. As has been done in the past, if an appropriate plan is developed, it has been honored. There are a number of legitimate and appropriate deviations from our program that are presently going on with everyone's knowledge and the Instructional Department's full support. Our commitment is to find the best possible program. Every child is entitled to the best possible program that our district can provide. The overall goal of the District 59 Mathematics Program is to provide students with those skills necessary to be successful in their later education and careers. A quality mathematics program is more than simple arithmetic or computational skills. While these skills are important and are fundamental to the understanding of mathematics, our goals include mastering mathematical concepts, understanding problem solving, and learning to apply mathematics. Additionally, as a result of recommendations from our 1998 District Mathematics Committee, we have the specific operational goal of providing all students with a well balanced program that is strongly linked to the Illinois State Goals for Learning. As a result of these goals, the following aspects of the program should be considered mandated and/or optional. MANDATED PROGRAM COMPONENTS 1. Scope and Sequence A well defined scope and sequence developed to ensure that all students receive instruction in a relevant mathematics curriculum that best supports our attempt to achieve the goals indicated above. 2. Assessment To assure that student achievement is closely monitored so the success of our program can be continually improved the following activities have been mandated. A. Chapter Tests B. Math Local Assessments: Objective (Grades 1, 6) C. Math Local Assessments: Performance (Grades 3, 5, 6, 7) D. Achievement Test (Grades 2, 4, 6) E. State ISAT Tests (Grades 3, 4, 5, 7, 8) F. High School Placement Tests (Grade 8) 3. Program Direction The direction is to integrate problem solving applications and vocabulary/ comprehension with the development of basic computation skills and mathematics concepts. These are optional resources that are available to accomplish this important direction: - Library Media Center Support Materials - Computer Software Programs - Video Programs - Videodisc Materials - CD-ROM Programs GRADE LEVEL MANDATES Mandated: A balanced program using a basic text (Scott Foresman/Addison Wesley Middle School Math Courses 1, 2, & 3, Glencoe Pre-Algebra, Glencoe Algebra One, and their supplementary materials) 1) Basic Computation Skills and Math Concepts 2) Problem Solving and Application 3) Readiness for success in the high school curriculum To achieve mastery in these areas at the junior high level, it is required that a four-year plan closely linked to the State of Illinois Learning Standards for Mathematics be followed: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ COMMUNITY CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL DISTRICT 59 Elk Grove Township Schools http://www.elk-grove.k12.il.us/bookshelf/curr/jh.curric.htm elk grove FOUR YEAR MATHEMATICS PLAN FOR JUNIOR HIGH fast track GRADE 6 GRADE 7 GRADE 8 HIGH SCHOOL GRADE 9 TDP TDP TDP TDP Glencoe Glencoe Complete Glencoe Advanced Algebra Pre-Algebra Algebra One Algebra One Accelerated and ATIM and ATIM slow track AVG.
