Gregory- Portland High School Suggested Math Course Sequencing –House Bill 5 Foundation Graduation Plans The following course sequences are options for students who are graduating on the House Bill 5 Foundation Graduation Plans. This is not an exhaustive list, nor is this the only set of options available. Suggested post-secondary alternatives are linked to each course sequence to aid in decision-making, but are only guides for planning. Option A This Option is for students who have taken Algebra I in Grade 8, and are planning to attend a 2 or 4-year university/college or technical school. This post-secondary focus will be a bachelor’s degree or focus on a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics field (STEM). Algebra I Geometry Algebra II PreCalculus Calculus or Statistics Option B This option is for students who are planning to attend a 2 or 4-year university/college and have a non-STEM or Liberal Arts focus OR for students who did not take Algebra I in grade 8 and will be pursuing a bachelor’s degree or career in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics field (STEM). Algebra I Geometry Algebra II PreCalculus or College Algebra* *PreCalculus is suggested for greater success in College Algebra Option C This option is for students who are planning to attend a 2 or 4-year university/college or technical school. Students in this option may require foundational math support Algebra I Geometry Algebra II Advanced Quantitative Reasoning or College Algebra Option D This option is for students who are planning to enter the workforce post-secondary, or attend a 2-year college or technical school. Students in this option who enter a 4-year university/college will require math support post-secondary. Algebra I Math Models* Geometry Algebra II *It may be suggested that students take Math Models and Geometry concurrently.
