Accelerated Math

Q & A

What is accelerated math like?

Regular 7th grade math is already a step-up in difficulty over 6th grade math. Compared to regular 7th grade math, accelerated math:

• Is faster paced (less time to learn, review, and catch-up)

• Explores topics in more detail and depth

• Has more homework

• Has longer and more rigorous tests

How does middle school accelerated math help me in high school?

If a student passes accelerated math in 7th and 8th grade, they will satisfy their high school Algebra I requirement, and at Hoover High School they may:

• Join the Engineering Academy early (9th grade)

• Take Algebra II & Chemistry early (10th grade)

• Take AP math & science courses early, including computer science (10-11th grade)

• Take IB math & science courses early (11th grade)

• Take specialized engineering physics courses:

  • AP Physics C — Mechanics (11th grade +)

  • AP Physics C — Electricity and Magnetism (12th grade)
