The program offers a unique opportunity for middle school students to earn high school math credit and accelerate their math pathway, potentially allowing them to take advanced math courses like Calculus in high school.
The LAUSD Math Acceleration Program provides an opportunity for current 6th and 7th-grade students within the Los Angeles Unified School District to earn credit and qualify for placement into accelerated math courses in the fall. For 6th graders, this means a pathway to Accelerated Math 7/8, aiming to complete Algebra 1 by the end of 8th grade. For 7th graders, the program prepares them for Accelerated Algebra 1 in 8th grade. The program focuses on strengthening foundational math skills and introducing advanced concepts to prepare students for a rigorous academic trajectory. Students will engage in problem-based lessons, collaborative group work, and practice with concepts and procedures spaced over time to foster deep conceptual understanding and strategic problem-solving. The curriculum is aligned with Common Core Mathematics, balancing procedural fluency, conceptual understanding, strategic competence, and adaptive reasoning. The program aims to support students in developing critical thinking and leadership skills, preparing them for college and career readiness.
A typical day involves structured academic instruction in mathematics, likely incorporating problem-based lessons and collaborative group activities. The program runs from 8:30 a.m. to 12:20 p.m..
This program is best for current 6th and 7th-grade Los Angeles Unified students who demonstrate advanced math skills, have a strong interest in mathematics, and are committed to the rigor of an accelerated academic pathway.
