COURSE DESCRIPTION(8th Grade Math)

        The standards for middle school continue the work started in elementary grades in these four strands: Data, Probability, and Statistical Reasoning (DPSR); Measurement, Geometry, and Spatial Reasoning (MGSR); Numerical Reasoning (NR); and Patterns, Algebra, and Functional Reasoning (PAFR). Woven throughout all four strands are concepts building on students’ understanding with problem solving to provide context to the problems they are solving, which will foster critical thinking and collaboration skills. 

 COURSE DESCRIPTION(Geometry-Honors)

Students taking this course are a part of the accelerated progression. This course will be a combination of eighth grade math indicators and Geometry with Statistics (GS) indicators. The indicators from eighth grade that were chosen to be embedded in this course are those that align with the indicators for Geometry along with others that will help prepare students to be successful in this Geometry course. Standards and indicators from both eighth grade and GS are found in the same strands as in the original course: Data, Probability, and Statistical Reasoning (DPSR); Measurement, Geometry, and Spatial Reasoning (MGSR); Numerical Reasoning (NR); and Patterns, Algebra, and Functional Reasoning (PAFR).
