Middle School Mathematics
6th Grade Advanced Math
Advanced Math 6 students study Grade 6 standards and part of the Grade 7 standards. Topics include ratios and proportional relationships, rational numbers, and arithmetic with algebraic expressions. Students solve one and multi-step equations and inequalities with variables on the same side. They also study relationships between independent and dependent variables. In the geometry unit, students solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, surface area, and volume. Students learn about statistical variability and how to describe distributions. Students learn how to informally draw inferences about populations. At the end of the course, students take the Grade 6 End-of-Grade (EOG) Exam.
Student Math Practices
Practice 1: Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
Practice 2: Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
Practice 3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Practice 4: Model with mathematics.
Practice 5: Use appropriate tools strategically.
Practice 6: Attend to precision.
Practice 7: Look for and make use of structure.
Practice 8: Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

7th Advanced Math
Advanced Math 7 students study the second part of grade 7 standards and grade 8 standards. They study applications of percents, rational and irrational numbers, scientific notation and exponents, equations and inequalities, characteristics of functions, linear functions, and solving systems of equations by graphing. In geometry units, students study angles and triangles, Pythagorean theorem, circles, surface area and volume, and transformations. Students learn about probability models and how to draw informal inferences about populations. At the end of the course, students take the Grade 7 End-of-Grade (EOG) exam.
