The Georgia Department of Education recently approved new math courses that offer a traditional/discrete option for Georgia high school students.

The reorganized mathematics standards will allow local school systems to again provide Algebra 1 and Geometry courses for students in grades 9-12.

A longtime proponent of more traditionally taught math instruction rather than the integrated approach, Fulton County Schools will offer traditional math courses in all high schools next year.

Parents are invited to review the proposed materials and provide feedback for these courses from now through June 5 at each Fulton County high school and the North Learning Center, which is at 450 Northridge Parkway in Sandy Springs.

Each location has a display with print and digital resources and a way to provide feedback through an online survey using smart phones or an on-site computer. Feedback from parents and teachers will be used to make recommendations for adoption by the Fulton County School Board in June.

Materials selected will go into effect for the 2015-2016 school year.
