Section 1 6

Fewer standards allow for focusing on the major work for each grade Focus

Section 1 7

The Standards are designed around coherent progressions and conceptual connections.

Coherence

Grade 7 Grade 8 Algebra

Analyze proportional relationships and use

them to solve real-world and mathematical

problems.

Understand the connections between

proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations.

Create equations that describe numbers or

relationships.

Expressing Geometric Properties with Equations

Translate between the geometric description and the equation for a conic section Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically

Section 1 10

The major topics at each grade level focus equally on:

Rigor

Conceptual Understanding

• More than getting answers

• Not just procedures

• Accessing concepts to solve problems

Procedural Skill and Fluency

• Speed and accuracy

• Used in solving more complex problems

• Comes after conceptual understanding

Application of the Mathematics

• Using math in real-world scenarios

• Choosing concepts without prompting
