Making Math Meaningful for Every Student Add your district s logo The 2+1 Model Making Math Meaningful for Every Student Template for Parent Night Math Visioning Meeting
HS math options Before we get started on HS math options, let s learn a bit about the state-level vision for math
Engineering Inequity: The Story of Modern Mathematics Education in the United States Where We Are: Math as a Filter Where We Want to Be: Math as a Pump
Connecting Activity How does math education act like a filter ? Think of your own math story. What filtering did you experience? How did this impact you? Moving to a pump How can we make math learning match the ways we use math in our modern lives? What changes in our math program would help all of our students enjoy math? What changes would help all of our students reach their college and career goals?
Oregon Math Project The Oregon Department of Education s ongoing project to make math meaningful for every student The Four Cornerstones of the Oregon Math Project Areas of work The Future: Math as a Pump
Oregon 2+1 Model for High School Math Oregon 2+1 Model for High School Math
modernizing the learning experiences How are we modernizing the learning experiences in our 2+1 courses? Suggestion: Do a math lesson together so families understand how your courses are improving experiences for students Possible model for HS audience Improvement: Adapt this task for your geographical area Even better: Use a modern math task that is now a part of your HS 2+1 courses!
Why is a math task like this important for our students? Why is a math task like this important for our students?
Higher Ed Supports New Math Pathways! Higher Ed Supports New Math Pathways! Alg 2 is no longer an admissions requirement at Oregon public colleges and universities (starting Fall 24) Colleges and universities admissions departments across the US are increasingly encouraging non-calculus math courses like data science and statistics: check current math admissions requirements at any colleges/universities you/your student might attend (examples of colleges that encourage these new pathways in admissions: the UC system including Stanford, Harvard University)
Our Math Pathways Work What work did you do/will you do to select +1 offerings? Share on this slide (see Page 15 in the Communication Toolkit). Tips for Designing +1 courses Survey your students - design +1 options around your students interests, goals, & post- secondary plans Integrate with CTE - align +1 courses with your CTE programs of study and region s workforce goals Partner with Higher Ed - ensure all your +1 courses are articulated with 100 level courses so students graduate ready for college level math courses Clearly communicate student options - (examples from Ohio: course descriptions, pathways diagrams, and student profiles) to help students and families understand how your +1 courses prepare students for their future plans
Our High School Math Pathway Add your school/district math pathway diagram emphasizing the postsecondary and career options afforded by each Example from Ohio
How do we help our students make +1 selections? 1. Add your process (NOT based on placement tests) 2. Counselor and advising tools 3. How you ensuring every +1 optionis high status and opens doors for students
