Hoover Mathematics Courses

All mathematics courses are aligned with the California Framework and Standards for Mathematics (see the links below for complete copies of both documents). In addition, all courses are aligned with the San Jose Unified School District pacing calendar.

Scope & Sequence

The standard sequence of courses has students taking Math 6 in sixth grade, Pre-Algebra in seventh grade, and Algebra 1 in eighth grade. For students who demonstrate an ability to succeed in advanced mathematics courses, we offer the opportunity to be advanced to a higher mathematics course. For those advanced students, it is possible to take Geometry in eighth grade, rather than in high school. We also offer intervention courses for students who require additional assistance to reach their full mathematical potential.

Math Supplies Needed

Each student is expected to come prepared for class each day with the required materials. Here is a list of supplies that will be needed for the complete school year:

2-3 spiral notebooks

8th Grade: quadrille
7th Grade: quadrille recommended, but regular okay.
6th Grade: regular spiral

6th Grade:

1.5" binder with dividers
200 3x5 index cards
5-10 pieces of light colored construction paper (12" x 18")

Backpack (no red or blue)
1 dozen pencils with erasers (math problems are to be done only in pencil)
Correcting pens (blue, red, or colors other than black ink; no sharpies)
Dry erase markers (not permanent), preferably black
2-3 glue sticks
Binder paper (wide or college ruled) or grid paper for homework

Optional supplies:

Highlighters (any color)
Small pencil bag for supplies. Try to get one with holes punched to keep it in your binder.
