College and Career Ready Math

Beginning in 2019-2020, BHSD 228 senior students will have another exciting option for their fourth-year math class: College and Career Ready Math.  This course is designed to transition students directly into college and career ready pathways.  The course will provide authentic application, problem-based instruction to build mathematical conceptual understanding and critical thinking skills.  Any student that completes this course with a grade of "C" or higher will receive guaranteed placement at all Illinois community colleges and select universities in a college-level mathematics course within 18 months of graduation, without needing to take a placement exam.

Who should consider taking this course?  The flowchart below is a great starting point for current juniors at the end of 1st semester to determine if they are a targeted candidate for this Transitional Math (TM) course we are offering.  Students are not mandated to take TM; however, are highly encouraged to consider this viable option.
