Mathematics, grade six standards are made up of five strands: Number Sense; Computation ; Algebra and Functions; Geometry and Measurement; and Data Analysis and Statistics. The skills listed in each strand indicate what students in grade six should know and be able to do in Mathematics. grade six begins the transition from the heavy emphasis on number and operations at the elementary school level towards a more formalized understanding of mathematics that occurs at the high school level. Students connect previous knowledge of multiplication, division, and fractions to ratios and proportional relationships; extend previous understanding of the number system and operations to fractions and negative numbers; apply and extend previous understandings of the number line to plot coordinate pairs on a Cartesian (coordinate) plane; formalize algebraic thinking into algebraic expressions, equations, and inequalities; apply their previous knowledge of geometry in real world and mathematics situations; and begin to develop understanding of statistical variability and distributions. Using the Process Standards for Mathematics in a planned and deliberate method to present the Mathematics content standards will prescribe that students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of the mathematics. Along with the current academic standards, the Science/Technical Studies Content Area Literacy Standards are incorporated in the teaching of this subject with the expectation of a continuum of reading and writing skills development.

Mathematics, grade seven standards are made up of five strands: Number Sense; Computation; Algebra and Functions; Geometry and Measurement; and Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability. The skills listed in each strand indicate what students in grade seven should know and be able to do in mathematics. Grade seven continues the trajectory towards a more formalized understanding of mathematics that occurs at the high school level that began in grade six. Students extend ratio reasoning to analyze proportional relationships and solve real-world and mathematical problems; extend previous understanding of the number system and operations to perform operations using all rational numbers; apply properties of operations in the context of algebraic expressions and equations; create, describe, and analyze geometric figures and the relationships between them; apply understandings of statistical variability and distributions by using random sampling, making inferences, and investigating chance processes and probability models. Using the Process Standards for mathematics in a planned and deliberate method to present the mathematics content standards will prescribe that students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of the mathematics.

Mathematics, grade eight standards are made up of five strands: Number Sense; Computation; Algebra and Functions; Geometry and Measurement; and Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability. The skills listed in each strand indicate what students in grade eight should know and be able to do in Mathematics. grade eight continues the trajectory towards a more formalized understanding of mathematics that occurs at the high school level that was started in grades 6 and 7. Students extend their understanding of rational numbers to develop an understanding of irrational numbers; connect ratio and proportional reasoning to lines and linear functions; define, evaluate, compare, and model with functions; build understanding of congruence and similarity; understand and apply the Pythagorean Theorem; and extend their understanding of statistics and probability by investigating patterns of association in bivariate data.

Mathematics Lab provides students with individualized instruction designed to support success in completing mathematics content aligned with Indiana’s Academic Standards for Mathematics. The Mathematics lab is to be taken in conjunction with the study of mathematics, and the content of Mathematics lab should be tightly aligned to the corresponding content being studied. Mathematics lab should relate and reinforce mathematics skills students have learned previously, fill in gaps and misconceptions of previous content, and present the current content in concrete and hands-on methods.

● Recommended grade level: grades six through eight

● For students who need additional support in mathematics.

● Note: This may also be used for students who need Tier 2 and 3 interventions in mathematics.
