Secondary Math Updates
MS Accelerated Math: Important Update
Those students who did not meet the new requirements might still be able to test in the fall. This all depends on if we are able to open schools or not.
We are offering those students a summer school opportunity to help them prepare for testing. This program is only available to those students who were about to test before schools were closed. Students who were selected based on other criteria will not have to test.
For more information, please visit http://www.ccsoh.us/accmath
The website above can be accessed by students and parents. They can also enroll in the summer program at that link.
Textbook Adoption and PD
Our plan is to have online access available to teachers as soon as possible. We will be ordering teacher editions along with the student textbooks, but it will take some time for materials to arrive at the warehouse and be bar-coded.
We are already planning PD for the summer while we work through the negotiations with the vendors. Principals should have received an email with dates and times of upcoming PD.
All math teachers are welcome to attend the virtual PD sessions. Stipends will be awarded. Please stay tuned for more details coming soon including dates and how to sign up for PD.

ALEKS Info
Please note: our ALEKS subscriptions are 12 months in length. We cannot guarantee that students can continue working through September 15 (the deadline for completing fourth-quarter assignments). Plan on a cut-off date around August 15.
We are not sure at this time if we will be purchasing ALEKS for next year as that is part of the textbook negotiations process. Stay tuned for more info.
Old Textbooks
- Middle School Course 1, 2, 3 (Math 6, 7, and 8)
- Integrated Math I and III (hold onto Math II for one more year)
- Integrated Math IV (Precalculus)
- AQR
High schools should keep Integrated Math II and Calculus books. We plan to purchase new Calculus books with an AP adoption next year.
