Special Notes

 

The 6th grade Advanced Math curriculum will follow all of the 6th grade Math curriculum as well as standards 1-16, 20-22, and 30 from the 7th grade Math curriculum. See the 7th grade Math curriculum document for further details regarding those standards.

This local curriculum document was developed from the 2010 Alabama Course of Study for Mathematics which was itself based on the newly adopted Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. State COS standards are keyed to CCSS (i.e. Common Core) standards using the lettering and number system employed by the CCSS so that instructional resources which are subsequently designed to support the CCSS can be easily matched back to lessons based on state and local requirements.

The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe the varieties of expertise that mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students. These standards were developed with input from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the National Research Council, and math teachers should reinforce these process skills when designing daily instructional lessons for students at all grade levels in the Hoover school system:

1.       Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them

2.       Reason abstractly and quantitatively

3.       Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others

4.       Model with mathematics

5.       Use appropriate tools strategically

6.       Attend to precision

7.       Look for and make use of structure

8.       Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
