PlacementPlacement
• Placement to match student’s current ability and aptitude with instruction
• This course typically leads to an introduction to algebra in 8th grade
• Historically - placement by matrix has been accurate
![Page 10: Math 6 Red Mr. Gerdin. Experience Education: M.Ed Education (Loyola) BS Chemical Engineering (Wisconsin) Masters Engineering Management (Northwestern)](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051305/5a4d1b737f8b9ab0599b6198/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Placement cont.Placement cont.
• Criteria include IAAT, IOWAs, Class Quiz/Test Scores, HW Completion, grade, EOY
• Student placement re-evaluated near end of first trimester and monitored beyond
• Highest weight to standardized results• NT has confirmed that there is NO correlation
between math placement and ability to get in “best” universities
