Why did Maryland adopt a new PreK–12 Mathematics Policy? What is the Multi-Tiered System of Supports? Will the policy changes look the same in every school? Will policy changes impact students' mathematics placements and result in lower expectations for students? Will I receive more information about my child’s math progress? Does the policy require teachers to use a new math program? Will acceleration options be eliminated from elementary mathematics? What does “automatic acceleration” mean? Will families still have input into acceleration decisions? Will my child still be able to take algebra in middle school? What happens if my child is not demonstrating proficiency in grade-level mathematics? What is Integrated Algebra 1 and Integrated Algebra 2 and how is it different from Algebra 1, Geometry and Algebra 2? Why does my child need to complete Integrated Algebra 1 and 2 by Grade 10? What happens if my child struggles with Integrated Algebra 2? What are the Secondary Mathematics Pathways? Are all students required to take Calculus? How does the policy impact graduation requirements? What support will be provided if my child is not College-and-Career (CCR) ready?
