    Course description:  This is the 1st year of a two-year accelerated math curriculum. It compacts the Oregon state math standards for 7th and 8th grades. It covers the following strands:

    • Proportional Reasoning
    • Number System

    • Algebraic Reasoning

    • Geometry

    • Statistics

    There is an emphasis on conceptual understanding of topics, critical thinking and application.  Students will be asked to justify their thinking, generalize relationships, make connections between ideas and reverse thinking to solve problems.
     

    Schedule of topics/units covered:

    • Proportional Reasoning: Ratios & Proportional Relationships; Scale Factor

    • Number System: Operations with Positives & Negatives; Order of Operations, Converting between Fractions, Decimals & Percents

    • Algebraic Reasoning: Linear Expressions & Equations. Combining Like Terms, Distributive Property, y = mx + b, Solving One and Two Step Linear Equations and Inequalities

    • Geometry & Measurement: Pythagorean Theorem, Triangle & Angle Relationships, Congruence & Similarity, Geometric Transformations, Volume

    • Statistics & Probability: Bivariate Data Represented in Scatter Plots & Two Way Tables, Line of Best Fit to Generalize Trends and Make Predictions.

    District adopted materials:


    MidSchool Math

    Differentiation/ accessibility strategies and support (TAG, ELL, SpEd, other):

    • Group work (Norms & Roles)

    • Test Revisions

    • Visuals

    • Graphic organizers

    • Pre-teaching vocabulary

    • Breaking task into smaller pieces

    • Study team strategies (pairs check, dyad, huddle, etc.)

    Final proficiencies: Students will be proficient in the seventh grade common core standards and the first half of eighth grade standards.

    Essential skills to be 

    taught or assessed:

         □ □ Read and comprehend

    Assessment/evaluation/grading policy: Please refer to the Proficiency Grading Page above.




       Assessments at a Close to Proficient (CP) or Developing Proficiency (DP) may be revised once.

    Behavioral expectations:  

    ATTENDANCE:  If a student is absent, they will need to check in with the teacher upon the day they return to see what they have missed and what they will need to make up.  Students will be given a new due date for work missed due to absence.
