Goal for 8th grade students is Algebra 1. Not all students have the necessary prerequisite

skills for Algebra 1. Two sets of standards for grade 8.

Each set will prepare students for college and career. Standards for Algebra 1.

Taken from 8th grade Common Core, high school Algebra content cluster, and CA Algebra standards.

8th grade Common Core. K-7 standards as augmented prepare students for

either set of standards.

California Grade 8 Options

What Does Math CCSS Focus on?

Conceptual understanding. Number sense in elementary. Application to real world problems. Rigor. Success in algebra and higher level mathematics.

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.…start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution.

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.…make sense of quantities and their relationships to problem situations.

3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.…understand and use stated assumptions, definitions, and previously established results in constructing arguments.

4. Model with mathematics.…can apply the mathematics they know to solve problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace.

Standards for Mathematical PracticeMathematically Proficient Students

5. Use appropriate tools strategically.…consider the available tools when solving a mathematical problem.

6. Attend to precision.…calculate accurately and efficiently.

7. Look for and make use of structure.…look closely to discern a pattern or structure.

8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.…notice if calculations are repeated, and look for both general methods and for shortcuts.
