Program Overview

Program Overview

The QRAT/TQR Courses focus on Quantitative Reasoning with Advanced Mathematical Topics. This program is designed for students who are not ready to take AP level math/QR courses. Typically, these students may have originally placed into pre-Calculus, "just got by" in Intermediate Math III or Intermediate Algebra II, but wish to further develop their readiness for college-level math. The course is intended for seniors who may not have planned on taking a senior year math course.

Admission Criteria

Students are eligible for this program if they place into:

• Level 4 "Exceeds Standard" on SBAC/CAASPP
• Level 3 "Standard Met" on SBAC/CAASPP
• Level 2 "Standard Nearly Met" on SBAC/CAASPP (with a counselor/math teacher recommendation)

Pre-requisites

The pre-requisites for this course include:

• Integrated Math III or Intermediate Algebra II with a passing grade

Teacher Qualifications

Minimum teacher qualifications require:

• CSET I, II, and III or full math credential
• QRAT fits the same qualifications as Precalculus, AP Stat, and Calculus

Program Details

This course is for students who are either not ready for or not interested in the Pre-calculus/Calculus pathway their senior year but still want to continue developing their mathematical knowledge and challenge their math skills while preparing for attendance at a CSU or UC. These students may be interested in a math-intensive major, although this is not a requirement for this course.
