+ Positive + Start Program

Math is fun, but it can also be challenging.

The + Positive + Start Program enables students to practice the prerequisite math skills needed to be successful in the mathematics course in which they are enrolled in the next school year.

Completion of the course will likely give students a positive start in math.

It’s never too late for a positive start. This program will be available to students through the fall and will end December 31, 2020.

Please visit our Frequently Asked Questions for important information regarding the program.

The +Positive + Start Program supports the prerequisite skills needed for the mathematics courses listed below:

Once students enter the code, they will be manually added to the program each morning (7:00 am).         This will activate the program and students will be able to access the assignments.

The + Positive + Start Program is a FREE, voluntary, non-credited, unsupported, self-paced review of math skills through Khan Academy. The goal is to give students a boost in the prerequisite math skills needed to be successful in the mathematics course in which the student is enrolled in the 2020-2021 school year. The work is meant to be done independently. Students will not be monitored or supported by an instructor. The + Positive + Start Program is not associated with any state defined mathematics course and the review of math skills is not comprehensive and/or parallel to a state defined mathematics course.
