Fewer standards allow for focusing on the major work for each grade Focus
Section 1 7
The Standards are designed around coherent progressions and conceptual connections.
Coherence
Grade 7 Grade 8 Algebra
Analyze proportional relationships and use
them to solve real-world and mathematical
problems.
Understand the connections between
proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations.
Create equations that describe numbers or
relationships.

Expressing Geometric Properties with Equations
Translate between the geometric description and the equation for a conic section Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically
Section 1 10
The major topics at each grade level focus equally on:
Rigor
Conceptual Understanding
• More than getting answers
• Not just procedures
• Accessing concepts to solve problems
Procedural Skill and Fluency
• Speed and accuracy
• Used in solving more complex problems
• Comes after conceptual understanding
Application of the Mathematics
• Using math in real-world scenarios
• Choosing concepts without prompting
