An Overview of CCGPS Math Course Pathways
1. Purposeful College and Career Readiness for
all students
2. Equity of access to advanced curriculum
opportunities for all students
3. Flexibility for different growth rates and entry
points for all students
4. Serving the needs of all students
4
Common Core Math Shifts
1. Focus
2. Coherence
3. Rigor
(Skills, Application, and Conceptual Understanding
all with equal intensity)

An Overview of CCGPS Math Course Pathways
There are 3 curriculum content pacing paths in
APS middle and high school mathematics
1. Standard CCGPS mathematics
2. Advanced CCGPS mathematics
3. Accelerated CCGPS mathematics
6
APS Accelerated Mathematics
•
Designed for students in grades 6-10 who meet the 3
criteria in the APS Continuous Learning Plan for
Mathematics
•
Accelerated mathematics is not different content just the same content taught at a faster pace
•
Students study 1.5 years of mathematics in one year
following the Georgia DOE Accelerated math scope and
sequence
•
After successful course path completion, and depending
on their strengths, students study either Coordinate
Algebra or Accelerated Coordinate Algebra in Grade 8
7
APS Advanced Mathematics
•
Designed for students who meet the 3 criteria in the
APS Continuous Learning Plan for Mathematics
•
Transition courses that prepare students in grades 6-7
to “jump ahead” one course year
•
Starting in 2014-2015, students who have successfully
completed the transition courses and meet the criteria
will be advanced one year in mathematics
•
After successful course path completion, and depending
on their strengths, students study either Coordinate
Algebra or Accelerated Coordinate Algebra in Grade 8

APS 2013-2014 COMMON CORE GEORGIA PERFORMANCE STANDARDS (CCGPS) MATH PATHWAYS
GRADE 6
*NOTE: High performing
students in CCGPS Math 8 who
meet the criteria can transition
to the Accelerated Coordinate
Algebra/Analytic Geometry A
course in Grade 9. This would
provide them with one year of
dual enrollment in Grade 12.

An Overview of CCGPS Math Course Pathways
•
APS is using multiple data measures to assess student
learning needs in mathematics. These include:
o
State CRCT/EOCT data
o
APS Performance Series Computer Adaptive Assessment
o
Teacher recommendations
o
Parent and student input
•
•
Pathways are not rigid – there is flexibility to move
•
There are recommended guidelines and criteria for students to
advance to the next level in the pathway
Pathways of study meet the student where they are and
strive to advance them to the next level

Ideas for out-of-classroom enrichment
•
•
•
Mathematics clubs (in-school and/or regional)
•
•
•
Connections/specials for mathematics (in-school)
•
Enrollment in web-based sites that promote
mathematical thinking and engagement with others
Mathematics contests (in-school, state, and national)
Problem of the Week or Month (in-school bulletin
boards)
Saturday enrichment (in-school or regional)
Mathematics and logic-based computer games and
physical games
