7th Grade Report Overview

The instructional materials reviewed for Grade 7 do not meet the expectation for alignment to the CCSSM. The materials only spend 58% of the suggested lessons on the major work of the grade. Only one of the two supporting clusters supports the major work of the grade. The materials do not give students of varying abilities extensive work with grade-level problems. While each standard is linked to one or more lessons within one unit, it is not done so across or within units. Although the concepts are identified, materials rarely relate grade level concepts explicitly to prior knowledge from earlier grades. Overall, the instructional materials reviewed do not meet the expectations for alignment to the CCSSM for focus and coherence and therefore were not reviewed for rigor and the mathematical practices.
