Grade Level: 6th

Length of Course: 2 semesters

Prerequisite: Completion of 5th grade math

Course Description:

The Math 6 course is adapted from National Common Core Standards for Mathematics, presented through the College Preparatory Mathematics, CPM, Core Connections Course 2. Four critical areas will be covered: (1) developing understanding of applying proportional relationships;(2) developing understanding of operations with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations (3) solving problems involving scale drawings and informal geometric constructions and working with 2-D and 3-D shapes to solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume; and (4) drawing inferences about populations based on samples.

Grade Level: 7th

Length of Course: 2 semesters

Prerequisite: Completion of Math 6 and use of Standardized Testing data

Course Description:

The Math 7 course is adapted from National Common Core Standards for Mathematics, presented through a blend of the College Preparatory Mathematics, CPM, Core Connections Course 2 and Core Connections Course 3 books. Five critical areas will be covered: (1) reinforcing an understanding of applying proportional relationships;(2) strengthening an understanding of operations with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations; (3) building upon inferences about populations based on samples; (4) formulating and reasoning about expressions and equations, including modeling an association in bivariate data with a linear equation and (5) analyzing 2-D and 3-D space and figures.

Grade Level: 6th - 7th

Length of Course: 2 semesters

Prerequisite: Completion of Math 6 and use of Standardized Testing data or placement test for incoming students

Course Description:

The Pre-Algebra course is adapted from National Common Core Standards for Mathematics, presented through the College Preparatory Mathematics, CPM, Core Connections Course 3. Three critical areas will be covered: (1) formulating and reasoning about expressions and equations, including modeling an association in bivariate data with a linear equation, and systems of linear equations; (2) grasping the concept of a function and using functions to describe quantitative relationships; (3) analyzing 2-D and 3-D space and figures using distance, angle, similarity, and congruence, and understanding and applying the Pythagorean Theorem.

Grade Level: 7th - 8th

Length of Course: 2 semesters

Prerequisite: Completion of Math 7 and use of Standardized Testing data or placement test for incoming students

Course Description:

The Algebra I course is adapted from National Common Core Standards for Mathematics, presented through the College Preparatory Mathematics, CPM, Core Connections Algebra. The course extends student understandings with balance among procedural fluency, strategic competence, and adaptive reasoning. It aims to deepen and extend student understanding built in previous courses by focusing on developing fluency with solving linear equations, inequalities, and systems. These skills are extended to solving quadratic equations, exploring linear, quadratic, and exponential functions graphically, numerically, symbolically, and as sequences.
