• 6TH GRADE:

    By the end of the 6th grade, students should be able to perform all four operations with positive and negative integers.  Students should also be able to create and/or solve one step and basic two step equations using inverse operations.  They should also be able to convert between fractions, decimals, and percents mentally and on paper.  Additionally, students should be able to approach and solve a word problem by creating and implementing a problem-solving plan.

     

    7TH GRADE:

    By the end of 7th grade, students should be able to perform all four operations with positive and negative rational numbers.  Students should also be able to create and/or solve two-step equations involving rational numbers (i.e. positive and negative fractions and decimals) using inverse operations.  They should be able to identify and work with proportional situations including those involving percents, scale, probability, and rate of change.  Students should also be able to find the volume and surface area of rectangular and triangular prisms.  They will calculate the area and circumference of cicles.  Additionally, students should be able to approach and solve a word problem by creating and implementing a problem-solving plan.

     

    8TH GRADE:

    By the end of 8th grade, students should be able to create and/or solve multi-step equations (i.e. those involving properties) using inverse operations.  They should be able to differentiate between proportional and non-proportional situations.  They should be able to solve and apply the Pythagorean Theorem.  Students should be able to apply angle concepts and find the volume and surface area of 3-d solids including cylinders. Furthermore, students should be able to approach and solve a word problem by creating and implementing a problem-solving plan.

     

    ALGEBRA:

    By the end of Algebra, students should be able to differentiate between linear, quadratic, and exponential situations.  They should be able to graph and interpret data from each of the three situations.  When given a graph, they will interpret how parameter changes affect the graph and/or situations associated with the graph.  Additionally, students should be able to approach and solve a word problem by creating and solving multi-step equations using a problem-solving plan.
