7th Grade Report Overview

Course 2 minimally addresses major coursework of the Grade 7. Chapter 3 work with rational numbers is completely aligned with 7th grade standards. Chapter 11 has two lessons that deal with combinations and permutations which is above grade level; if these were removed, the chapter would be completely at grade level. Many of the chapters integrate work that is above or below grade-level. For example, Chapter 1 contains only one lesson that is aligned to Grade 7 standards while all other lessons are below grade level. Since these materials do not meet the expectations for alignment to the CCSSM for focus or coherence, they were not reviewed for rigor or the mathematics practices.
