Prerequisite :

Common Core Math 7P

Students must meet 2 out of 3 criteria and pass Grade 6 Mathematics

• A grade of 80 or higher in a sixth grade mathematics course


• Teacher recommendation from the 6th


• Students must perform proficient on the sixth grade PSSA

grade math teacher

Intended Audience: This course is designed for the student who has successfully completed Math 6 by the end of the sixth grade.

This course differs from the Common Core Math 7 course in that it contains some content from the 8th Grade Pennsylvania Core Standards

for Mathematics. While coherence is retained, in that this course logically builds from the 6th Grade mathematics course, the depth,
breadth, and pace of this course is accelerated when compared to the Common Core Math 7 course. The Mathematical Practice Standards

apply throughout this course and, together with the content standards, prescribe that students experience mathematics as a coherent,

useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations. The critical areas are as follows:

• Students develop an understanding of number, recognizing fractions, decimals and percents as different representations of rational
  numbers. Students extend addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to all rational numbers. Students explain and interpret
  the rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing with negative numbers. They extend their mastery of the properties of
  operations to develop an understanding of integer exponents, and to work with numbers written in scientific notation.


• Students use linear equations and efficiently implement procedures to solve linear equations in one variable.


• Students solve problems involving the area and circumference of a circle and surface area of three-dimensional objects and solve
  real-world and mathematical problems involving area. Students use ideas about distance and angles, how they behave under
  translations, rotations, reflections, and ideas about congruence and similarity to describe and analyze two-dimensional figures and
  to solve problems.


• Students show that the sum of the angles in a triangle is the angle formed by a straight line and complete their work on volume by
  solving problems involving cones, cylinders, and spheres.
  After successfully completing the course, students will be allowed to enroll in Common Core 8P Concepts of Algebra.
