Welcome to Jordan Middle School!
Our Math Department utilizes technology in the classroom, as well as differentiated, interactive learning to engage students. To challenge your student, Jordan offers Accelerated Math courses that provide the opportunity to enter Advanced Algebra 1 during their 8th grade year to earn high school credit while still in middle school.
In Northside ISD, we believe that all students should have access to the course pathway that will prepare them for college, career, military and beyond. To support this effort, the MS Math Program has multiple entry points from students to access Accelerated and Advanced coursework. The courses offered in the MS Mathematics program are listed below, including a link to the Pacing Calendar for each course.
