Math Grade 8
PARENTS’ COPY
Dear Parents,
This year Pitt County Schools will be offering two courses for eighth graders in the area of math. These courses are:
COURSE OPTIONS:
1. 8th Grade Mathematics: This course is based on the state 8th grade curriculum. It leads to completion of the Algebra I requirements for high school graduation. This course includes strands of Algebra, Geometry, Statistics and Numbers and prepares students for course work in high school. Students who complete this course will generally enroll in the following course sequence in high school:
|9th grade Algebra I |10th grade Algebra II or Geometry |
|11th grade Geometry or Algebra II |12th grade Algebra II or a higher level math course with Algebra II as |

Effective with the freshman class of 2009-2010, four mathematics credits are required for graduation: Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and a fourth mathematics course to be aligned with the student’s post high school plans.
2. Algebra I: It is recommended that students enrolled in this course have an average of 90 or better in the advanced seventh grade course of Accelerated Mathematics, and be well motivated, and capable of mastering new material without constant reinforcement or tutoring. All students who complete the course are required to take the North Carolina end-of-course Algebra I test. Students electing to enroll in Algebra I in the eighth grade intend to complete four years of high school mathematics at the honors level:
|9th grade Geometry or Algebra II |10th grade Algebra II or Geometry |
|11th grade Pre-calculus or higher level math course with Algebra II as |12th grade Higher level math course with Algebra II as prerequisite: |

Following either the 8th Grade Mathematics or Algebra I sequence will provide your child with the mathematics qualifications for entering one of the sixteen campuses of the University of North Carolina system.
EXIT CRITERIA
For those who elect to enroll in Algebra I, the following standard will apply:
• Any student enrolled in Algebra I as of the 20th school day is required to take the End-of-Course test. The End-of-Course test will count twenty-five percent (25%) of the student’s final grade.
• The last day to drop Algebra I will be the 19th school day.
If you have any questions or wish to have additional information, please contact the school your child will attend next year or consult your child’s math teacher for advice.
