Honors Math

• Cindy McCabe

The honors math program is for students in grades three through five who demonstrate mathematical understanding, problem solving and reasoning skills. Specific criteria has been established for qualification into the accelerated math program. This program is offered at all fourteen elementary buildings.

Students' thinking in mathematics is flexible. The students are able to demonstrate that they grasp concepts quickly, see patterns and make connections across disciplines and among operations. The critical objectives, aligned with the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Standards and District 203 Mathematics Learner Outcomes, allows students in the program to complete the sixth grade math sequence at the end of their elementary experience.

The elementary honors mathematics program segues into the advanced mathematics program at the five junior high schools. The K-8 aligned critical objectives allow students to complete the freshman level algebra course at the eighth grade level. Students take geometry during their high school freshman year.
