6th Grade Report Overview

While Course 1 does address major coursework of Grade 6, future grade level work is taught and assessed. Chapter 7 addresses major work with ratios. However, the material often uses the term “proportion” and asks students to solve for them. This is not wording taken from the standard as students in Grade 6 do not directly solve proportions. Another example of this is seen in Chapter 13 where the material uses the term “function.” This terminology isn’t used until Grade 8. By changing these two terms, the problems on these chapter assessments would more closely align to the Grade 6 standards. Since these materials do not meet the expectations for alignment to the CCSSM for focus or coherence, they were not reviewed for rigor or the math practices.
