<p> Math 1 Summer Bridge School Course Syllabus Mr. Torres [email protected]</p><p>Welcome to Math 1 Summer Bridge! This class is designed to give outgoing Math 8 students the opportunity to master two additional units that were only covered in Integrated Math 1, thus making them eligible to start 9th grade in Integrated Math 2. This class will not count as high school math credit and will be taken solely for the purpose of accelerating students in the math course sequence. The placement for their 9th grade year will be based on the following requirements: </p><p>1. Math 1 Bridge Pretest: Any student exceeding the standards on the pretest will test out of this class and be placed in Integrated Math 2 Enhanced. 2. Successful completion of the Math 1 Bridge Course: Passing the Math 1 Summer Bridge course with a “B” or better, along with a “B” or better in Math 8, enables a student to be eligible to take Integrated Math 2 Enhanced their 9th grade year. Passing the Math 1 Summer Bridge Course with a “C” or better, along with a “B” or better in Math 8, enables a student to be eligible to take Integrated Math 2 their 9th grade year. 3.
