Points to consider about the Accelerated Mathematics Pathway. 1) The accelerated pathway is not a good fit for all students, even good math students. Students must be prepared to learn concepts and make connects between concepts at an accelerated pace. Students are expected to articulate and communicate their thinking verbally and in writing. 2) Students placed in the non-accelerated Intermediate 1, 7th grade course, will still have the opportunity to enter the Honors track in 9th grade. If a student enters the Honors track in 9th grade, they will have the choice of taking either AP Calculus or AP Statistics as a senior. 3) If a student is placed on the accelerated track in 7th grade and then struggles later in their high school math classes, the student may face challenges meeting high school graduation requirements. *
