Students are automatically placed in Math 180 based on their MAP Growth scores. (Districts or schools with HMH Growth Measure can use that to place students, but only MAP Growth places student automatically.) When students have been placed automatically, teachers can review the placement and manually adjust as needed. Automatic placement is set by default and can be turned on or off by the teacher.
Students who were already placed in a previous school year will retain their placement unless the teacher changes it.
