4th-year math options for seniors? 

Look no further.  

Introducing two innovative courses from Sac State's Center for College & Career Readiness, which for over a decade, has leveraged the expertise of 4-year institutions, feeder high school districts, community colleges, and county offices of education to serve the students we have traditionally given up on mathematically. 

"C-Advanced mathematics"

approved

Quantitative Reasoning

with Advanced Math Topics  

This course is intended for students who are not ready for or not interested in the Pre-Calculus or Calculus pathway their senior year but still want to continue developing their mathematical knowledge and challenge their math skills while preparing to attend a CSU or UC.   

"G-mathematics elective"

approved

Transition to

Quantitative Reasoning

This course provides a pathway for students who may not be interested in pursuing a STEM and/or math intensive major and would typically not take math their senior year.

Our courses are predicated on the idea that

students’ negative disposition toward mathematics can change in an environment that fosters engagement and conceptual learning.

Using a facilitative teaching approach, teachers reposition themselves from

“sage on the stage” to “guide on the side” to create a more student-centered classroom. This allows teachers to learn along with their students, thereby shifting their mathematical understanding and pedagogical framework. 

Using real-world tasks, simulation, and patterning, students work in groups to take on problems that require them to gather, analyze, and evaluate information.  Building on prior knowledge, students collaborate to uncover the underlying structures of mathematics and connect these concepts using critical reasoning expressed through written and oral communication.  With a focus on depth, not breadth, students’ curiosity is reignited and they leave more confident in their transition to college and career pathways.  

This program provides engaging learning experiences with curriculum and pedagogy as well as modeling and discussion of research-based instructional strategies, including adaptations.
