On-Level vs. Accelerated

• Both cover the exact same standards

• Both prepare the student for advanced math classes.

• Both culminate with a state-required EOCT exam (20% of course grade)

How are they alike ?

• Coordinate Algebra covers 6 units of study; Accel Coord Alg/Analytic Geom A covers 9 units of study.

• Accelerated Math moves at a much faster pace and incorporates less directed teaching.

• On-level Math incorporates more directed instruction and teaching techniques.

• Accelerated Math requires the individual student to analyze and investigate independently when problem-solving.

• On-level Math incorporates more guided practice through the problem-solving process.

How are they different ?

Keys to Student Success

• Come prepared for class each day.

• Keep an organized notebook.

• Participate in all class discussions.

• Ask questions.

• Complete all assignments.

• Know that retesting is an exception, not a rule .
