Guidelines for Scheduling Transition Mathematics for Seniors

  1. Student met mastery on 10th grade WESTEST 2 mathematics and has successfully completed/passed four mathematics courses by end of junior year. Student achieves at least mastery on grade 11 WESTEST 2 mathematics. Student does not need to take Transition Mathematics for Seniors or any other mathematics course during the senior year. However, they are strongly encouraged to take a higher level mathematics course** in senior year.
  1. Student met mastery on 10th grade WESTEST 2 mathematics and has successfully completed/passed four mathematics courses by end of junior year. Student does not achieve at least mastery on grade 11 WESTEST 2 mathematics. Student must take Transition Mathematics for Seniors or another higher level mathematics course** during the senior year. It is recommended that the additional mathematics course be applied to the fourth course the student needs in the professional pathway sequence (i.e., fourth science, two foreign language and one other course –in this case mathematics) or as an elective for skilled pathway students.
  1. Student did not meet mastery on 10th grade WESTEST 2 mathematics but has successfully completed/passed four mathematics courses by end of junior year. Student should be scheduled into Transition Mathematics for Seniors. However, if the student achieves at least mastery on grade 11 WESTEST 2 mathematics the student will not take Transition Mathematics for Seniors or any other mathematics course during the senior year. However, they are strongly encouraged to take a higher level mathematics course** in senior year.

  1. Student did not meet mastery on 10th grade WESTEST 2 mathematics and has not successfully passed/completed four mathematics courses by end of junior year. The student is scheduled into Transition Mathematics for Seniors. If they achieve at least mastery on grade 11 WESTEST 2 mathematics they must either remain in the Transition Mathematics for Seniors or be scheduled into a higher level mathematics course**.
  1. Student met mastery on 10th grade WESTEST 2 mathematics and has successfully completed/passed four mathematics courses by end of junior year. Student does not achieve at least mastery on grade 11 WESTEST 2 mathematics, but has achieved at least a score of 22 on ACT mathematics exam. Student does not take Transition Mathematics for Seniorsbut is scheduled into another higher level mathematics course* during the senior year. It is recommended that the additional mathematics course be applied to the fourth course the student needs in the professional pathway sequence (i.e., fourth science, two foreign language and one other course –in this case mathematics) or as an elective for skilled pathway students.

**For students in Professional Pathway the following are considered a higher level mathematics course: courses above Algebra II, i.e., Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Probability and Statistics, Calculus, College Algebra course, College Trigonometry course, Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus, AP Statistics

**For students in Skilled Pathway the following are considered a higher level mathematics courses dependent upon the sequence of mathematics courses already completed:

  • Algebra I, Geometry, Conceptual Math – higher level mathematics would be Algebra II
  • Algebra Support, Algebra I, Geometry – higher level mathematics would be Transition Mathematics for Seniors
  • Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II – higher level mathematics would be Transition Mathematics for Seniors or same as course options for Professional pathway
