6.RIT.8: Trace and evaluate the argument and specific
claims in a text, distinguishing claims that are
supported by reasons and evidence from claims that
are not.
6.W.10: Write routinely over extended time frames
(time for research, reflection, and revision) and
shorter time frames (a single sitting or a day or two)
for a range of discipline-specific tasks, purposes, and
audiences.
6.SL.4
Present claims and findings,
sequencing ideas logically and using
pertinent descriptions, facts, and
details to accentuate main ideas or
themes; use appropriate eye contact,
adequate volume, and clear
pronunciation.

vs. Honors English pathway
 both
use SpringBoard curriculum – Honors =
one grade level beyond
 both aligned to Common Core
 both increased rigor – prep for high school
honors and AP
 both increased reading, writing, research,
and application
 Honors at 8th grade = HS credit course (9th
honors)

Compacted 6/7 Content
Ratios and
Proportional
Relationships
• Understand ratio
concepts and use
ratio reasoning to
solve problems.
•
Analyze proportional
relationships and use
them to solve realworld and
mathematical
problems.
The Number
System
• Apply and extend
previous understandings
of multiplication and
division to divide
fractions by fractions.
• Compute fluently with
multi-digit numbers and
find common factors and
multiples.
• Apply and extend
previous understandings
of numbers to the
system of rational
numbers.
• Apply and extend
previous understandings
of operations with
fractions to add, subtract,
multiply, and divide
rational numbers.
Expressions
and Equations
• Apply and extend
previous understandings
of arithmetic to algebraic
expressions.
• Reason about and solve
one-variable equations
and inequalities.
• Represent and analyze
quantitative relationships
between dependent and
independent variables.
Grade 7 CCSS
Geometry
• Draw, construct, and
describe geometrical
figures and describe
the relationships
between them.
• Solve real-life and
mathematical
problems involving
area, surface area,
and volume.
• Draw, construct, and
describe geometrical
figures and describe
the relationships
between them.
Statistics
and
Probability
• Develop
understanding of
statistical variability.
• Summarize and
describe distributions.
• Use random sampling
to draw inferences
about a population.
• Draw informal
comparative
inferences about two
populations.

6EE.8 Write an inequality of the form x > c or x < c
to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world or
mathematical problem. Recognize that inequalities of
the form x > c or x < c have infinitely many solutions;
represent solutions of such inequalities on number line
diagrams.
