Secondary Math
September 2020
Textbooks
Student books
- Student books consist of Volume 1 and Volume 2 for most subjects. Exception: Precalculus and Financial Literacy Math which are single volumes.
- Only Volume 1 is needed for first semester.
- MS: textbooks are consumable. This means that all students will have their own textbooks which they may write in.
- HS: Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 books are paperback but not consumable. They are to be used as class sets. When teachers divide these books up, they might want to write a book number inside in permanent marker (for instance, H-01 for Hiner book 1). If a student wants a book while learning remotely, one can be signed out.
- Algebra 1 course in MS: If a school has only one section of the course, students may write in the book, since new books will be sent out each year.
- HS: Integrated Math II courses will be taught using the hardback books from last year. We also loaded Geometry and Algebra 1 digital books into the course so teachers can take advantage of the new Reveal platform if they wish. Note that we do not have additional print books for Algebra 1 and Geometry to use in Integrated Math II. Digital use would be required.
- We will get a new supply of high school student books each year.
Number Worlds: These kits are to be used in the school when we return to buildings. Nothing should be signed out.
Teacher books
- We have a very limited number of teacher editions. We will start sending them out after all student books have been received.
- Precalculus: each building will receive one hard copy of the teacher edition. Note: the online book is in PDF form in the digital binder.
- We are still working on the Financial Literacy Math TE and student books. However, digital access is working.
Scheduling
- Integrated Math I has been replaced with Algebra 1.
- Students may also take Algebra 1 - Part 1. This is a course where students take Algebra 1 over two years. Students receive one full math credit for each year.
- Principals received a document that they could use to determine which students to schedule in one-year or two-year Algebra 1.
- This will be the last year for Integrated Math II. Next year, it will be replaced with Geometry.
- Geometry curriculum will be ready in October. A few high schools are planning to offer it second semester of this school year on block format.
- Integrated Math III has been replaced by Algebra 2 this year. If anyone is scheduled to teach an Integrated Math III course, that needs to be switched over to Algebra 2 right away. Exception: Course 902030E is for students in self-contained classrooms.
- Please see this guide for more information on math scheduling.
Courses in ConnectED Accounts
Old courses will appear in ConnectEd until Sept 16.
New Reveal courses appear on the right-side of the screen by clicking on Mymheducation.com or "Reveal Math". There may be a drop-down menu with school names. If so, select your current school.
Please note: It is imperative that your schedule be entered correctly in Infinite Campus. If not, your Clever and McGraw-Hill accounts will not be correct.
The next thing to do is rename your sections or Reveal Math to something that makes more sense to YOU. Please download the PDF below to find out how.

Curriculum Documents

- In the Digital Binder
Be sure to review the curriculum documents for Scope and Sequence, Clear Learning Targets, Textbook info, helpful websites, and more.
ALEKS info
We will be completing a bulk upload for the new school year somewhere around Sept 3 - 8.
Here is what that entails:
- If you are a teacher who moved to a new building, you will get a new account
- If you are new to the district, you will get an account
- All courses will be created for you and students will be enrolled in them during this process
After this initial upload, teachers can move students into new Ohio and CCS aligned courses.
New this year: Many MS and HS courses have been created with objectives by chapter. Your ALEKS class will follow the Scope and Sequence as it appears in the Clear Learning Target. You can choose to set required dates of completion or leave all objectives open for students to progress from one to the next as he or she is ready to move on (recommended). Or, you can turn off the objectives and have the course work as normal.

Giving students their ALEKS info
We are also going to try something new this year. We are going to add parent email fields to our bulk upload. Parents will then be emailed their child's login information.
