Mathematics

The State Board of Education has adopted Ohio's Learning Standards in Mathematics. The Kindergarten - Grade 12 standards have been fully in use in Ohio classrooms since the start of the 2014-15 school year.

These mathematics model curricula were written by Ohio educators to support the implementation of Ohio's New Learning Standards in Mathematics. In March 2011 the State Board of Education adopted model curricula to match the standards.

Elementary

Students are instructed on grade level standards in a heterogeneously grouped classroom. Teachers use differentiated instruction to meet the academic needs and learning styles of all students. Students in grades 3-5 will be assessed using the state standardized test.

Middle School

In the Spring of 2020, the Northwest Local School District adopted Illustrative Mathematics as its resource for middle school mathematics instruction. In partnership with McGraw Hill, students and teachers have access to both digital and print resources for the Illustrative Math program, including full access to ALEKS. Most students are instructed on grade level standards. Advanced sections are available for students who are ready to work beyond grade level, including Algebra 1 courses offered in the eighth grade. Applied Math is available for students that need additional instruction on grade level or previous grade level standards. Students in Applied Math courses have access to IXL Learning. Students in all grade levels are assessed annually on the Ohio State Tests of Mathematics.

High School

All students must successfully complete Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II in order to meet state graduation guidelines. Students are also required to take a fourth math class of their choosing. Students are required to successfully complete the Algebra I and Geometry end of course exam provided by the state of Ohio.

Ohio Standards By Grade Level (K-8)

In February 2017, the State Board of Education adopted the revisions to the Ohio Learning Standards for Mathematics. The 2017 standards now have been modified into grade-level specific documents with the standards, mathematical practices and tables relevant to the grade level. The standards describe what students should understand and be able to do. Standards do not dictate curriculum or teaching methods.

Standards By High School Course & Conceptual Category

In February 2017, the State Board of Education adopted the revisions to the Ohio Learning Standards for Mathematics. Soon after the 2017 standards were adopted, the high school standards by course were available for both the traditional and integrated pathways. The standards describe what students should understand and be able to do. Standards do not dictate curriculum or teaching methods.
