A suggested arrangement of the high school standards into courses, developed with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Pearson Foundation, by a group of people including Patrick Callahan and Brad Findell has just been released. It seems to be a solid effort by people familiar with the standards, so what do you think of these courses? In Michigan, three options have emerged for High School math courses. Course pathways are offered
- in Appendix A of the CCSS-M
- from the MAISA collaborative project developed by Oakland Schools
- by the group that has been grant funded. Their work is presented here:
- Traditional Algebra I and Geometry (graphical)
- Traditional Algebra II (graphical)
- Integrated I and II (graphical)
- Integrated III (graphical)
- All courses including the standards by unit (text)
THE question
So, which pathway should we use in Michigan?
[And, should we use just one pathway across the entire state?]
