An Overview of CCGPS Math Course Pathways
1.Purposeful College and Career Readiness for all students
2.Equity of access to advanced curriculum opportunities for all students
3.Flexibility for different growth rates and entry points for all students
4.Serving the needs of all students
5
Common Core Math Shifts
1.Focus
2.Coherence
3.Rigor (Skills, Application, and Conceptual Understanding all with equal intensity)

An Overview of CCGPS Math Course Pathways
There are 3 curriculum content pacing paths in APS middle and high school mathematics
1.Standard CCGPS mathematics
2.Advanced CCGPS mathematics
3.Accelerated CCGPS mathematics
APS Accelerated Mathematics• Designed for students in grades 6-10 who meet the 3
criteria in the APS Continuous Learning Plan for Mathematics
• Accelerated mathematics is not different content - just the same content taught at a faster pace
• Students study 1.5 years of mathematics in one year following the Georgia DOE Accelerated math scope and sequence
• After successful course path completion, and depending on their strengths, students study either Coordinate Algebra or Accelerated Coordinate Algebra in Grade 8
7
APS Advanced Mathematics• Designed for students who meet the 3 criteria in
the APS Continuous Learning Plan for Mathematics
• Transition courses that prepare students in grades 6-7 to “jump ahead” one course year
• Starting in 2014-2015, students who have successfully completed the transition courses and meet the criteria will be advanced one year in mathematics
• After successful course path completion, and depending on their strengths, students study either Coordinate Algebra or Accelerated Coordinate Algebra in Grade 8

Boxes with dotted lines indicate courses that will be phased out after 2014-2015

*NOTE: High performing students in CCGPS Math 8 who meet the criteria can transition to the Accelerated Coordinate Algebra/Analytic Geometry A course in Grade 9. This would provide them with one year of dual enrollment in Grade 12. *See NOTE
The Advanced/Honors courses in middle school
will transition to the Year-Ahead courses over
2013-14 and 2014-15.

An Overview of CCGPS Math Course Pathways• APS is using multiple data measures to assess student
learning needs in mathematics. These include:o State CRCT/EOCT datao APS Performance Series Computer Adaptive Assessmento Teacher recommendationso Parent and student input
• Pathways are not rigid – there is flexibility to move• Pathways of study meet the student where they are and
strive to advance them to the next level• There are recommended guidelines and criteria for
students to advance to the next level in the pathway

Ideas for out-of-classroom enrichment• Mathematics clubs (in-school and/or regional)
• Mathematics contests (in-school, state, and national)
• Problem of the Week or Month (in-school bulletin boards)
• Connections/specials for mathematics (in-school)
• Saturday enrichment (in-school or regional)
• Mathematics and logic-based computer games and physical games
• Enrollment in web-based sites that promote mathematical thinking and engagement with others
