Report 2011014 January 3, 2011 Math Transitions Introduction This report is the result of a request by a local math PLC. The tables may provide an indication of the degree of alignment between high school and community college math curricula. Charts and Tables 1 and 2 present an overall view of math transitions from a local high school district to a local community college district. Data were available from 1998–99 through 2009–10 for the high school districts, and data from summer 1999 through spring 2009 were used for the community college. Concurrent enrollments, in which the student enrolls in a community college course while still a high school student, were not used. Tables should be read row wise by selecting a high school math level and reading across that row to see what percent of those students took a given level of math in community college as their next math course (Table 1) and their success rate in that course (Table 2). Success is defined as earning a grade of C or better. Please note that the categories have been assigned by research staff and will need to be verified by local faculty. Tables 3 and 4 are provided for this purpose. Summary o o Overall, compared with the highest level math course attempted in high school: 44% of the cohorts’ first attempted CC math courses were of a lower level, 28% of the cohorts’ first attempted CC math courses were of an equal level, and 28% of the cohorts’ first attempted CC math courses were of a higher level. In their first CC math course attempt, 52% of students were successful. Note: Percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding. This report is not for public distribution.
