[BHS Etree] INCOMING FAMILIES: Math Placement Test, April 8, 14 or 21

[BHS etree]

All incoming New-to-BUSD 9th grade students must take a general math
placement test. 

 

Students at King, Longfellow and Willard students do not take a math
placement test unless they are interested in Honors Math.  The honors math
test for current BUSD students will take place on April 8 at each of the
three middle schools. For time and location, students should contact their
current math teacher. 

 

Students new to the BUSD will take the test on April 8, 14, or 21 in the
Berkeley High School library beginning at 3 p.m. Students who have
accommodations should plan to attend the April 8th date.

 

Content on the Math Placement Test: the Algebra content covered by the
placement test is the California content standards for Algebra 1 which can
be found online at:

http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sr/documents/rtqalg1.pdf

 

Finally, we are asking all current 8th grade math teachers to submit a
placement recommendation for their students. BUSD students receive automatic
recommendations. For New-to-BUSD students, we are requesting the teacher
fill in a short online questionnaire, which can be found online at:
<https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BHS2014>
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BHS2014, no later than April 21, 2014.

 

Most students enrolled in AHA, AMPS and CAS will take the integrated math
program. This program begins with IMP 2, IMP 3, and IMP 4.  Students in
Academic Choice and Berkeley International High School enroll in the
geometry sequence and take geometry, algebra 2, and math analysis.  Both
math sequences prepare students for AP level courses in their senior year.
Students in AHA and CAS who test into the honors program may take Honors
Geometry or Honors Algebra 2.
