The document outlines the middle school math sequence and requirements for enrollment in accelerated courses for a school district. It recommends compacting 3 years of math content into 2 years maximum. The district has chosen to offer Math 6 Honors and Math 7 Honors to compact 6th, 7th, and 8th grade math into two years. Students must meet two of the following criteria to enroll: passing the state math exam, proficiency on a placement test, or passing a separate math assessment. The document also discusses course options after middle school through high school graduation.

In

compacting

would
be
