  2. Algebra in 8th Grade under CCSS Discussion Agenda Process: How might you start thinking about how to design an Algebra course for 8th graders? Purpose: Why do 8th graders need Algebra? How do we let the purpose guide decision making?

  3. Algebra in 8th Grade under CCSS Dana Center Thinking We have clearly defined the scope of the HS Algebra course. We do expect students in Algebra in 8th grade to meet the same standards as a HS Algebra course. Assumptions: Many standards from 8th grade connect well with standards from Algebra 1. Starting with the Algebra sequenced units, we can identify if 8th grade standards are well matched with Algebra standards, and make suggestions for which might be included in the sequenced units for Algebra 1 or which could be matched with 7th grade standards.

Quick Activity Clusters to think about integrating… Achievement First: 8.NS.A Baltimore City: 8.EE.A Boston:8.EE.B Charlotte-Meck:8.EE.C Chicago: 8.F.A Denver: 8.F.B DC: 8.G.A Hillsborough: 8.G.B Long Beach: 8.SP.A Los Angeles: 8.NS.A Memphis City: 8.EE.A Newark: 8.EE.B Pittsburgh: 8.F.APrince George’s: 8.G.B

  5. Routes to Algebra I in 8th grade Compacting and decision points Decision point Decision point Decision point

  6. Algebra in 8th Grade What is the purpose? Why do you offer Algebra in 8th grade? Are there ways to reach calculus in HS without starting with algebra in 8th grade?

  7. Routes to Calculus in the senior year Doubling up in high school Decision point

  8. Routes to Calculus in the senior year Decision point Re-envisioning the first three years of high school Grade 9 = Rest of Algebra I plus? Grade 10 = Geometry plus? Grade 11 = Rest of Algebra II plus?

  9. Other questions to consider… …to ensure that you meet the needs of all your students What is the plan for students to access the pathway to calculus along the way—will you have multiple entry points/decision points, or only one? What is the plan for students that do Algebra in 8th grade and experience burnout before reaching calculus? Are there paths for HS students that get to college credit- bearing courses other than calculus?
