NOTES:

• FADA – Functions, Algebra, and Data Analysis: This is a good crossover course for those coming out of Geometry but not yet ready for Algebra 2 (they may have struggled in Geometry and Algebra 1 or they may have done fine in Geometry but struggled in Algebra 1)
• AFM – Advanced Functions and Modeling: This is a good crossover course for those coming out of Algebra 2 but not quite ready for Advanced Algebra (Pre-Calculus)
• “Multiple Options” includes Computer Math, AP Computer Science, Statistics/Discrete Math, AP Statistics.
• “Mastery level” student refers to those who are being very successful in the current class without the need to tutoring and/or retakes on assessments. These students should be independent learners and they can manipulate fractions and decimals without a calculator (ie: have good number sense)

If you have questions about your student’s recommendation, please contact your student’s teacher or one of the department chairs.
