6^th Grade Mathematics

In 6^th grade students are learning Pre-Algebra concepts focusing on the NY State Mathematics Learning Standards. Within these learning standards, there are (5) major Crosswalks that are taught throughout the year. We focus on: 1) Ratios and Proportional Reasoning, 2) The Number System, 3) Expressions, Equations, and Inequalities, 4) Geometry – Area and Volume and 5) Statistics and Probability. 6^th grade mathematics builds on student understanding of decimals and fractions, while introducing newer algebraic concepts such as writing expressions, solving equations, graphing using a number line and coordinate plane, determining percentages, as well as gathering and analyzing statistics to determine the Mean, Median, Mode, Range, and Outlier. These concepts are taught and implemented throughout the year using the Math Modules, Eureka Math, and IXL to improve student understanding. 

7^th Grade Mathematics

In 7^th grade students are learning Pre-Algebra concepts focusing on the NY State Mathematics Learning Standards. Within these learning standards, there are (5) major Crosswalks that are taught throughout the year. These concepts are similar to the 6^th grade Crosswalks and are built upon prior knowledge and understanding. We focus on 1) Ratio and Proportional Reasoning, 2) The Number System, 3) Expressions, Equations, and Inequalities, 4) Geometry – Area, Volume, Missing Angles, Scale Drawing and 5) Statistics and Probability. In 7^th grade there is a shift from 6^th grade in students using integers (positive and negative numbers) to solve equations, using absolute value to solve word problems, learning how to determine percent on and percent off, and using statistics to determine the probability of events and number of possible outcomes. These concepts and taught and implemented throughout the year using the Math Modules, Eureka Math, and IXL to improve student understanding. 

8^th Grade Mathematics

In 8^th grade students are learning Pre-Algebra concepts focusing on the NY State Mathematics Learning Standards. Within these learning standards there are (5) major Crosswalks that are taught throughout the year. While the Crosswalks are somewhat similar to those in 6^th and 7^th grade math, there is much more emphasis and focus on Algebraic and Geometric Concepts. We focus on: 1) The Number System, 2) Expressions, Equations, and Inequalities, 3) Functions 4) Geometry – Volume of 3 Dimensional Figures, Transformations and the Pythagorean Theorem, and 5) Statistics and Probability focusing on patterns of association in bivariate data. In 8^th grade students also focus on Laws of Exponents, Linear and Nonlinear Equations and Graphs focusing on the Slope and Y-Intercept. These concepts are taught and implemented throughout the year using the Math Modules, Eureka Math, and IXL to improve student understanding.
