DC CAPE 2.0 math, DC's four math credits and the DCPS math curriculum

  • DC students in grades 3 to 8, Algebra I and Geometry take DC CAPE math. OSSE says DC CAPE 2.0 begins with the spring 2027 administration, using computer-adaptive tests built on Smarter Balanced content. OSSE will no longer produce an Algebra II test for high school math.
  • DC requires 24 Carnegie units to graduate, including 4 math units that must include Algebra 1, Geometry and Algebra II at a minimum. Since 2016-17, students must enroll in Algebra I by 10th grade unless their school has a waiver.
  • DCPS uses Eureka Math Squared in kindergarten to grade 5 and Illustrative Mathematics in middle and high school. Its math plan, shared with its Parent Advisory Board in December 2023, set a goal to accelerate the middle school pathway so students complete Algebra 1 before high school.

A one-to-one online tutor can follow your child's Eureka Math Squared or Illustrative Mathematics lessons, prepare for the new computer-adaptive DC CAPE in spring 2027, and keep Algebra 1 and Geometry on track.
