What is the difference between C2.0 Math 6 and MCPS 2001 Math 7?


Percents as a rate
Multiplicative reasoning with ratios to convert
measurement units
*Note: CCSS6 does not solve “proportions” – the
emphasis is on the multiplicative relationship among
ratios.
Unit 5:



*Note: Surface Area and Volume in Geometry domain
above
Functional Relationships
Investigate functional relationships
Determine whether functions are linear or nonlinear
Describe recursive relationship of simple arithmetic
and geometric sequences verbally, in a table, and in
a graph
 Use coordinate graphs to interpret patterns (using
rational numbers)
 Transformations in a coordinate plane
Unit 6: Measurement
 Degree of precision – measure accurately
 Precision, error, and tolerance in measurement
 Surface Area and Volume of prisms and cylinders
 Relationship between length and area and how a
change in one affects the other
Summary:
 MCPS 2001 Math 7 does have some similar concepts as CCSS6 however the standards are a little different and are
not taught as in depth as they will be in the Common Core curriculum.
 The content of 2001 Math 7 contains some mathematics that is not in Common Core middle school content.
 For students going from CCSS Math 5 to 2001 Math 7, they will miss the opportunity to gain foundational skills in
the critical areas of ratios, division of fractions and extending the notion of number to the system of rational
numbers.
