Curriculum Map

Accelerated Math — Year 2

Complete the two-year compacted math pathway. Covers remaining Grade 7 topics (inequalities, geometry, circles) plus the full Grade 8 curriculum — real numbers, slope, linear relationships, functions, Pythagorean theorem, and 3D volume. Finishes ready for Algebra I. TEKS §111.27 + §111.28 aligned.

Advanced Concepts

Capstone/Synthesis

Inequalities and Their Solutions

Write, solve, and graph one- and two-step inequalities, and interpret solution sets in real-world contexts.

3-4 days

Angle Relationships and Parallel Lines

Identify and use angle relationships — supplementary, complementary, vertical, and transversal — to solve for unknown angle measures.

3-4 days

Area and Circumference of Circles

Use pi to calculate the circumference and area of circles, and apply these formulas to composite figures.

3-4 days

Surface Area and Volume

Calculate the surface area and volume of prisms, pyramids, and composite solids using nets and formulas.

3-4 days

The Real Number System

Classify real numbers as rational or irrational, locate them on the number line, and approximate irrational numbers.

3-4 days

Scientific Notation

Write, interpret, and perform operations with numbers in scientific notation, including very large and very small quantities.

3-4 days

Slope, Rate of Change, and Linear Relationships

Understand slope as rate of change, calculate it from tables, graphs, and ordered pairs, and write equations of lines in slope-intercept form.

4-5 days

Equations and Systems

Solve multi-step equations, and introduce systems of two linear equations solved by graphing and substitution.

4-5 days

Introduction to Functions

Understand the function concept, identify functions from multiple representations, and evaluate and interpret functions in context.

3-4 days

The Pythagorean Theorem and Distance

Prove and apply the Pythagorean theorem to find missing side lengths, determine whether triangles are right triangles, and calculate distances on the coordinate plane.

4-5 days

Geometric Transformations

Perform and describe translations, reflections, rotations, and dilations on the coordinate plane, and connect transformations to congruence and similarity.

4-5 days

Scatterplots, Trends, and Data Analysis

Construct and interpret scatterplots, identify association and trends, draw lines of best fit, and use them for predictions.

3-4 days

Volume: Cylinders, Cones, Spheres

Derive and apply volume formulas for cylinders, cones, and spheres, then tackle composite solids that combine curved and flat shapes.

3-4 days

Algebra Gateway: Readiness

A comprehensive diagnostic review of the year's major concepts, consolidating skills and identifying gaps before the transition to Algebra I.

3-4 days

Learning Progression

This course is designed to be taken sequentially. Earlier units establish foundational concepts that later units build upon. While you can explore units in any order, following the numbered sequence provides the most coherent learning experience.
