HB237 mandates that students in kindergarten through eighth grade receive at least 300 weekly minutes of mathematics instruction to prepare them for Algebra I. It requires districts to develop mathematics improvement plans for students scoring below proficient on assessments, including intervention instruction and progress monitoring. Districts must also create advanced mathematics tracks for students in grades six through twelve, offering classes that culminate in Algebra I before ninth grade and prepare students for college-level mathematics.
