Math

OPRFHS' multi-tiered systems of support in mathematics seeks to prepare students to be college and career-ready math students by the end of their senior year. Through practices of pre-teaching, re-teaching, targeting critical skills, and identifying positive academic behaviors, our math intervention sets the stage for students to be successful math students. In addition to robust math course offerings, interventions that aim to accelerate growth are outlined below.

Math Accelerate

Math I & II Accelerate courses are designed for students who need ongoing skill development to succeed in Math I and II. These courses focus on essential skills like computation, proportional reasoning, number sense, and math fluency. Math I & II Accelerate provides highly individualized and intensive instruction to accelerate student learning and growth. The courses utilize the research-based intervention program, ALEKS, to offer personalized learning and close skill gaps, helping students become college and career-ready in mathematics.

Extended Math

Extended Math I & II are additional periods of math that support achievement in College Preparatory Math I and Math II. Math I and Math II are the foundations of advanced mathematics. The extended classes provide strategic instruction to increase students' problem-solving skills, number sense, math fluency, and algebra understanding. Teachers utilize interventions such as ALEKS as well as pre-teach and reteach strategies to identify and remediate skill areas that need further development to ensure success.

Math III Applications & Problem-Solving

Math III Applications & Problem-Solving is offered to students with demonstrated need for a functional and experiential approach to learn math concepts as well as continued skill development. The Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) intervention approach uses hands-on (concrete), pictorial (representational) and numerical/symbolic (abstract) math problems.

Math Tutoring

Tutoring support in all areas of mathematics is offered in the Student Resource Center (SRC) in Room 2315. The schedule is as follows:

Before school: 7:00 - 7:50 a.m.
During the school day: 8:00 a.m. – 3:11 p.m.
After school, Monday - Thursday: 3:11 - 7:00 p.m.
After school, Friday: 3:11 - 4:30 p.m.

Tutoring also is available on Late Arrival Wednesdays, beginning at 7:00 a.m.

Math Enrichment Center (MEC)

Provides brief and targeted skill-specific math instruction for students who are identified through formative and summative assessments so that students may reach College & Career Readiness Benchmarks, specifically in Math I & Math II contents.
