If a student fails pre-algebra in 8th grade and needs to retake the course, can a student retake pre-algebra in high school and have it count as one of the three years of math?
No. Students are required to take six credits of secondary mathematics courses under the new graduation requirements. The following courses are secondary mathematics courses: Applied mathematics, business mathematics, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, fundamentals of calculus, probability and statistics, discrete mathematics, and courses in mathematical problem solving and reasoning. Unless the school district can fit pre-algebra standards into one of those courses, it will not count.
