Pasadena Unified's three-year math requirement and Integrated Math sequence

  • Pasadena Unified requires 3 years of math, worth 30 units, to graduate: Math I, Math II and a math elective. That sits inside a 220-unit minimum for the class of 2020 and beyond, along with 40 hours of community service and a senior portfolio and defense.
  • PUSD high schools teach Integrated Math 1, 2 and 3 rather than Algebra 1, Geometry and Algebra 2. At John Muir High School each Integrated course is a 10-credit, A-G approved class, and Muir notes that UC needs three years of math, including Integrated Math III.
  • Students in grades 3 to 8 and grade 11 take California's Smarter Balanced math test, part of CAASPP. It is computer adaptive and includes a performance task. Exact 2026-27 testing dates were not yet posted on the state CAASPP pages in October 2026; testing happens in spring.

A one-to-one online tutor can build the algebra, geometry and statistics skills that Integrated Math 1, 2 and 3 combine, and prepare students for the Smarter Balanced math test each spring.
