The PRIME Math course utilizes curriculum developed by the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB), that includes and reinforces the Algebra I, Geometry Algebra II, and Statistics skills necessary for postsecondary success. This course emphasizes understanding of math concepts rather than just memorizing procedures. PRIME math emphasizes students' reasoning and sense making about procedures (e.g., why to use a certain formula or method to solve a problem). This equips them with higher-order thinking skills in order to apply math skills, functions, and concepts in different situations. The course is intended for students who currently have achieved the minimum math requirements at the secondary level, but need additional experiences to enhance their mathematical knowledge before pursuing credit-bearing courses at a postsecondary institution. In order to offer this course, the instructor must have received training by SREB or IDOE. Additionally, the school and the instructor must commit to teaching the PRIME math curriculum with fidelity. Submission of this form indicates interest in receiving training related to PRIME or meeting with IDOE specialists to learn more about this course.
