District realigns high-school math sequence; Integrated Math split continues
Summary
Staff said algebra and geometry pacing documents were realigned and that Integrated Math 2 will follow Integrated Math 1 so students take the NJSLA algebra assessment after sophomore year rather than freshman year. The documents are included in the August K–12 curriculum packet.
Curriculum staff said they revised high‑school math pacing and course-sequence documents to focus instruction on major standards. Adrianne, the curriculum presenter, said Algebra I and Geometry documents were adjusted and that Integrated Math 2 is the second part of a two‑year sequence intended to give students more time on key standards.
"Integrated Math 2 is the 2nd part to, Integrated Math 1, which is where we divided up the algebra standards and divided it over 2 years to give some students extra time with those standards where they'll take the NJSLA algebra assessment after their sophomore year instead of their freshman year," Adrianne said. Staff said the documents are ready for board approval at the August meeting.
Board members were told the changes aim to improve alignment with assessment timing and provide more instructional time on major standards for students who need it.
