Section 193-I:2 - Structure and SequenceI. Eligible students shall have completed or be near completion of algebra I. The department shall encourage every public high school in the state to administer a mathematics assessment to students who may benefit from this program as recommended by a school teacher or guidance counselor and a parent in the spring of grade 10. Students who do not demonstrate an understanding of algebra I on the mathematics assessment and who have the recommendation of a teacher or guidance counselor and a parent may be assigned to course I, advanced math foundations. A student who has demonstrated mastery of algebra I concepts, as demonstrated on the mathematics assessment, shall be considered for either algebra II or course II, quantitative reasoning, or another determined college-level mathematics course.II. Course I, advanced math foundations, is a review and expansion of a student's understanding and ability to apply fundamental competencies in algebra, geometry, probability, and statistics. This course provides one math credit toward high school graduation.III. Course II, quantitative reasoning, or another pre-determined college-level mathematics course are college-level math courses for students who have demonstrated mastery of algebra I concepts, as demonstrated on the mathematics assessment. These courses can be taken through the concurrent dual enrollment program and upon satisfactory completion shall satisfy the math requirement for high school graduation and the math requirement associated with many degree programs at the community college system of New Hampshire. These courses may be offered to students in grades 11 or 12.IV. The community college system of New Hampshire shall annually submit a report listing the New Hampshire high schools that are partners in the math learning communities program to the department of education, the house education committee and the senate education committee no later than October 1. The submitted report shall contain, but not be limited to, the total number of students participating in the advanced mathematical foundation and quantitative reasoning courses; the number of summer institute participants; a summary of student achievement and growth using data based upon the Next-Generation Accuplacer (QAS) exam and the SAT math examination; and any other information as determined by the community college system of New Hampshire.Amended by 2024, 116:1, eff. 9/1/2024.Amended by 2023, 79:385, eff. 7/1/2023.Added by 2018 , 305: 2, eff. 6/25/2018. 2018, 305 : 2 , eff.
