they relate to Middle School Mathematics:
Sixth Grade Mathematics:
All
students will be actively engaged in developing mathematical understandings
in real and relevant contexts. By the end of 6th grade, students will be
able to:
• Understand the four arithmetic operations as they relate to positive
rational numbers
•
Compute with and convert between different forms of positive rational
numbers
• Understand the concepts of ratio and proportion,and solve problems using
proportional reasoning
• Understand and use line and rotational symmetry
• Determine the surface area and volume of solid figures
• Use variables to represent unknown quantities in formulae, algebraic
expressions, and equations
• Utilize data to make predictions
• Determine the probability of a given event
Seventh Grade Mathematics:
All
students will be actively engaged in developing mathematical understandings
in real and relevant
contexts. By the end of 7th grade, students will be able to:
• Understand and use rational numbers, including signed numbers
• Solve linear equations in one variable
• Sketch and construct plane figures
• Describe and sketch solid figures, including their cross sections, and
examine properties of geometric shapes in space
• Demonstrate understanding of transformations and apply properties of
similarity
• Represent and describe relationships between variables in tables, graphs,
and formulas
• Analyze the characteristics of linear relationships
• Represent and analyze data using graphical
displays, measures of central tendency, and measures of variation
• Solve problems, communicate mathematically, reason and evaluate
mathematical arguments, make connections among mathematical ideas and in
other contexts, and represent mathematics in multiple ways.
Eighth Grade Mathematics:
All
students will be actively engaged in developing
mathematical understandings in real and relevant
contexts. By the end of 8th grade, students will be
able to:
• Understand various numerical representations, including square roots,
exponents, and scientific notation
• Use and apply geometric properties of plane figures, including congruence
and the Pythagorean theorem
• Use symbolic algebra to represent situations and solve problems,
especially those that involve linear relationships

by linear functions
• Solve problems, communicate mathematically, reason and evaluate
mathematical arguments, make connections among mathematical ideas and in
other contexts, and represent mathematics in multiple ways
