Building Skills

Advanced Concepts

Capstone/Synthesis

Whole Numbers and Place Value

Build fluency with multi-digit operations and place value to prepare for fractions, decimals, and algebraic thinking.

3-4 days

Fractions and Decimals

Master operations with fractions and decimals, including equivalence, ordering, and real-world applications.

4-5 days

Integers and the Number Line

Explore positive and negative integers, absolute value, and ordering on the number line to build a foundation for rational number reasoning.

3-4 days

Ratios and Rates

Understand ratios as comparisons, build equivalent ratios, create ratio tables, and calculate unit rates in real-world contexts.

4-5 days

Percents and Applications

Connect fractions, decimals, and percents, then apply percent reasoning to tax, tips, discounts, and other real-world problems.

4-5 days

Expressions and Variables

Learn to write, evaluate, and simplify algebraic expressions using variables, constants, and the properties of operations.

4-5 days

One-Step Equations and Inequalities

Solve one-step equations and inequalities using inverse operations, and represent solutions on a number line.

4-5 days

The Coordinate Plane

Plot ordered pairs in all four quadrants, calculate distances, and connect graphing to real-world data.

3-4 days

Area, Perimeter, and Volume

Calculate area and perimeter of rectangles, triangles, and parallelograms, then extend to surface area and volume of rectangular prisms.

4-5 days

Angles and Triangles

Classify angles and triangles, explore angle relationships including complementary and supplementary pairs, and find missing angle measures.

3-4 days

Data Displays and Statistics

Organize and interpret data using dot plots, histograms, and box plots, and summarize data sets with mean, median, mode, and range.

3-4 days

Probability

Understand the mathematics of chance by exploring simple and compound events, comparing experimental and theoretical probability, and making predictions.

3-4 days

Personal Financial Literacy

Build essential money skills including understanding income, creating budgets, setting savings goals, and recognizing the basics of credit.

3-4 days
