Notes:
• Students must pass Integrated Math 1 to fulfill California high school graduation requirements.
• Incoming 7th grade students who demonstrate mastery of Int Math A Honors content by passing an assessment will have
the option to enroll in Int Math B Honors as a 7th grader. This will allow a student to begin AP math courses in 11th grade.
• For 2015-16, SDUHSD will not offer the option for incoming 7th graders to accelerate into Int Math 1 Honors/Accelerated.
• SDUHSD will not accept any math courses from external institutions for the purposes of accelerating middle school math
placement. SDUHSD will continue to accept HS courses from accredited institutions that are taken after completion of 8th
grade. Students may transfer in a maximum of three courses throughout their HS career.
• The Int Math 1/2/3 Honors sequence includes the appropriate content from the current Honors Pre-Calculus course to
ensure that students can move into AP Calculus without the need for a stand-alone Pre-Calculus course.

“Readiness” and “Essentials” courses are not college prep (not UC/CSU approved).
Int Math A Readiness, B Readiness, & Int Math 1 Readiness are intended for students who have not
yet mastered skills and content from lower grade levels and will focus on individualized remediation
with the goal of accelerating learning to return to grade-level courses whenever possible.
Students must pass Integrated Math 1 to fulfill California high school graduation requirements.
Summer Bridge courses are intended to help prepare students for success when transitioning from
below grade-level “Readiness” to grade level College Prep courses.
Int Math 2/3 Essentials will focus on the crucial content from Integrated Math 2 & 3 in order to
prepare students for the 11th grade CCSS Math assessment.

SDUHSD Middle School Math Course Selection
Philosophy and Policy
Most students will be enrolled in their grade level college prep math course. Some students may elect to
access our honors level math courses. Other students will be recommended for a below grade level math
course. Below grade level math courses incorporate individualized computer based programs.
Integrated Math B Honors for 7th graders is considered a “grade skip”. In order for 7th graders to enroll in this
course, they must meet the following criteria. No exceptions. Integrated Math B Honors for 7th graders is the
only course selection district wide in which parents / students are NOT permitted to enroll without meeting the
criteria.
A student must meet the criteria listed below to be eligible to enroll in Integrated Math B Honors as a 7th
grader:
1. 75% or better on the SDUHSD Integrated Math Readiness Test
SDUHSD Board Policy allows for a student to drop or change math course levels up to the end of the fourth
week of school. It is important that students are placed carefully. Please follow our recommendations for math
placement. Transferring Math levels, even during the first four weeks is difficult for 7th graders. After four
weeks, students are not allowed to transfer math levels, per SDUHSD Board Policy.
Please see our SDUHSD Math Course Profiles on our website for more information regarding our math
courses and pathways.
