Sixth grade math focuses on four critical areas:
(1) connecting ratio and rate to whole number multiplication and division and using concepts of ratio and rate to solve problems
(2) completing understanding of division of fractions and extending the notion of number to the system of rational numbers, which includes negative numbers
(3) writing, interpreting, and using expressions and equations
(4) developing understanding of statistical thinking
Seventh grade math focuses on five critical areas:
(1) Ratios & Proportional Reasoning; developing understanding of and applying proportional relationships
(2) The Number System; developing understanding of operations with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations
(3) Geometry; solving problems involving scale drawings, working with two- and three-dimensional shapes to solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume
(4) Probability & Statistics; drawing inferences about populations based on samples
(5) Expressions & Equations; solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations
In Grade 8, instructional time should focus on three critical areas:
(1) formulating and reasoning about expressions and equations, including modeling an association in bi-variate data with a linear equation, and solving linear equations and systems of linear equations
(2) grasping the concept of a function and using functions to describe quantitative relationships
(3) analyzing two- and three-dimensional space and figures using distance, angle, similarity, and congruence, and understanding and applying the Pythagorean Theorem.
