I. Eligible students shall have completed or be near completion of algebra I. The department shall encourage every public high school in the state to administer a mathematics assessment to students who may benefit from this program as recommended by a school teacher or guidance counselor and a parent in the spring of grade 10. Students who do not demonstrate an understanding of algebra I on the mathematics assessment and who have the recommendation of a teacher or guidance counselor and a parent may be assigned to course I, advanced math foundations. A student who has demonstrated mastery of algebra I concepts, as demonstrated on the mathematics assessment, shall be considered for either algebra II or course II, quantitative reasoning , or another determined college-level mathematics course .
II. Course I, advanced math foundations, is a review and expansion of a student's understanding and ability to apply fundamental competencies in algebra, geometry, probability, and statistics. This course provides one math credit toward high school graduation.
III. Course II, quantitative reasoning, or another pre-determined college-level mathematics course are college-level math courses for students who have demonstrated mastery of algebra I concepts, as demonstrated on the mathematics assessment. These courses can be taken through the concurrent dual enrollment program and upon satisfactory completion shall satisfy the math requirement for high school graduation and the math requirement associated with many degree programs at the community college system of New Hampshire. These courses may be offered to students in grades 11 or 12.
