Transition Math Project

Yakima Valley Project (YVP)

We intend to identify/create opportunities for students to engage in rigorous mathematics that is personally relevant and to make those opportunities readily available to all students for all four years of their high school experience. We believe this will result in more students choosing to take mathematics classes beyond those required for graduation thereby increasing their success in the post secondary education opportunities they choose.

The major products emerging from this three year project will include:

A strong, sustainable community of learners consisting of mathematics educators from public high schools and institutions of higher education
The identification and highlighting of the mathematics inherent in existing high school classes
The creation of an 11/12 grade mathematics class which will serve to bridge the high school to college transition

Our success will be measured by an increase in the percentage of high school students taking mathematics beyond the graduation requirement and a decrease in the percentage of recent high school graduates who choose to attend college or university that place into pre-college level math classes.
