Supported by the Microsoft Math Partnership, SPS has developed the Seattle Math Pathway. This pathway focuses on preparing all our students for new high school graduation requirements, state exams in Algebra and Geometry, as well as college and careers.
Families of 5th-grade students will receive a letter by May 15, recommending math course placement for 6th grade. Last year, there was a 6th-grade placement test; a test will not be used this year. The recommendation will be based on multiple data points, including current math placement, most recent WASL scores and Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) data.
Families of 8th-grade students will receive a letter by April 20, with the student's recommended mathematics course for 9th grade. This recommendation will be based on the student's current math course, grade in that course, most recent WASL scores, and MAP data.
The data above will also be used to make recommendations for students who could benefit from either additional support or a more accelerated math pathway. Click here to learn more.
