[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] AOS and AET integrated math starts off with Algebra 2. I haven't heard of any Algebra 1 kid receiving AET or AOS offer. It is likely Algebra 1 kids go for MATA trade skills programs, and may not even be interested in applying to AET/AOS. TJ is in a unique situation where they are having to admit 150 to 170 Algebra1 kids to meet their equity objective. [/quote] It does not start with Algebra 2, but with some algebra 1 topics, moving into geometry and algebra 2 and topics not covered in that class like matrices and polar coordinates. [b]I think there are quite a few Algebra 1 8th graders being accepted. [/b] AOS/AET also has a minimum 1.5% per school minimum quota, for each so 3% of 8th grade class. There is a high dropout rate, with a significant number of kids finding the math difficult. The algebra 2 kids find it very easy, with a lot of subjects repeated.[/quote] It's unlikely they are any Algebra 1 students admitted. Looking at AOS and AET integrated math 1 syllabus, it assumes year long geometry is completed, and goes straight into Algebra 2 concepts. there is a bit of revision of previous geometry topics, but not a substitute for year long geometry. AET Integrated Mathematics I Course Code 566100 Grade(s): 9 1 Credit Prerequisite: None This course is the first in a series of integrated math courses (two-year sequence of courses) designed for AET students. Students study Algebra 2 with Trigonometry and Math Analysis as an integrated progression of math topics and learn additional content typically taught in geometry, advanced algebra, trigonometry, precalculus, and introductory calculus. The course is inquiry-based with much of the content learned through investigations, applications, simulations, and problem-based exercises. https://www.lcps.org/cms/lib/VA01000195/Centricity/Domain/23873/AET%20Course%20Descriptions.pdf [/quote]
