Seventh Grade Math Placement Criteria
Seventh grade math placement is determined at the end of sixth grade by the
sixth grade math teachers and the head of the middle school math department.
Thoughtful deliberation is used in making placement decisions in an effort to
ensure that each student has a successful math experience in the Middle School.
All students placed in Math 7, Transitional Math 7 or Algebra I (7th
Grade) will have the opportunity to take advanced courses in the Upper School.
Students enrolled in Math 6 will move to either Math 7 or Transitional Math 7
based on the following criteria:
-
Overall in-class assessment average {83 (B) or above is required for
Transitional Math}
-
Teacher observation over the course of a year
of a student’s abilities relative to that of her/his peers
-
Amount of additional assistance received from the sixth grade teacher and/or
an outside tutor
-
A student’s demonstrated cognitive
development in abstract thinking and generalizing
-
ERB
scores on the quantitative ability and mathematics sections
-
The impact a particular math placement might have on a student’s ability to
experience an overall successful seventh grade year given the
academic demands of the seventh grade curriculum and the additional time
demands of seventh grade extracurricular activities
Students enrolled in Transitional Math 6 will move to Algebra I (7th
