  2. Core CurriculumMathematical Processes • Standards for Mathematical Practice • Making sense of problems and persevere in solving them • Reason abstractly and quantitatively • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others • Model with mathematics • Use appropriate tools strategically • Attend to precision • Look for and make use of structure • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

  3. Core Curriculum Grade 6 Ratios and Proportional Relationships Unit rate, equivalent ratios ,percent of a quantity, convert measurement units The Number System Multiply and divide fractions, GCF and LCM, Rational numbers: Absolute values and ordering, Positive and negative numbers, Graphing in all four quadrants Expressions and Equations Algebraic expressions, Exponents, One-variable equations and inequalities Geometry Area, surface area, and volume Statistics and Probability Statistical variability, Distributions (Dot plot, histogram, and box plots)

  4. Ratios and Proportional Relationships Unit rates, Proportional relationship between two quantities, Multistep ratio and percent problems The Number System Add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers including fractions Expressions and Equations Properties of operations , Multi-step problems Geometry Draw, construct, and describe geometrical figures, Angle measure, area, surface area, and volume Statistics and Probability Random sampling, Draw inferences about populations, two numerical data distributions, Compare inferences about two population, Relative frequency, Probability model, Probability of compound events Core Curriculum Grade 7

  5. Core Curriculum Grade 8 The Number System Rational and irrational, Rational approximation of irrational numbers Expressions and Equations Radical and integer exponents, Square root and cube root, Scientific notation, Proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations, Linear equations and pairs of linear equations Functions Define, evaluate, and compare functions, Use functions to model relationships between quantities  Geometry Congruency and similarity, Rotation, reflection, and translation, Angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, Pythagorean Theorem, Volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres  Statistics and Probability Bivariate data, Scatter plots, Slope and intercept, Two-way table
