Ohio will require the incoming freshmen to complete four units of math for graduation, compared to the three now required. Another new requirement for graduation is that one of those four units must be Algebra II.
''With Algebra II, students will get a stronger background in math going into college, and career-wise — with technology growing at such a fast pace — there is a demand for students to know more math,'' Scott Blake, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Education, said Monday."
