District adds math course options for high schoolers

Adams 12 Five Star Schools is excited to share that it is adding new math classes for students to take after successful completion of Integrated Math 2 starting in the 2025-2026 school year. These classes will be part of three pathways to provide opportunities for students to seek out learning that will help them thrive in the future of their choosing. The new pathways will allow students to take interesting and challenging courses that are relevant to a variety of opportunities after graduation.

• Students will take Integrated Math 1 their freshman year
• Students will take Integrated Math 2 their sophomore year 
• Their junior year, students can pick between: 
• Integrated Math 3
• Mathematical Modeling and Reasoning 
• Exploring Data Science and Statistics
• High school counselors and math teachers will be able to talk to students about the options and which one might be the best fit for them. 

More about the new courses:

Mathematical Modeling and Reasoning
This course allows students to apply foundational mathematical skills and analytical concepts to real-world situations. These courses focus on strategies required for problem solving, critical evaluation of numerical information, decision making, and economic productivity in real-world applications. Topics included are numeracy, ratio and proportional reasoning, modeling, financial literacy, spatial and geometric modeling, and statistics.

Exploring Data Science and Statistics
This course  focuses on descriptive statistics, with an introduction to inferential statistics. Topics  include event probability, normal probability distribution, collection and description of data, frequency tables and graphs, measures of central tendency and variability, random variables, and random sampling.  Students will build a foundational knowledge of statistics and data science to prepare them for future math classes.
