PA Eligible Content M06.A-R.1.1.1 Use ratio language and notation (such as 3 to 4, 3:4, 3/4) to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. Example 1: The ratio of girls to boys in a math class is 2:3 because for every 2 girls there are 3 boys. Example 2: For every five votes candidate A received, candidate B received four votes. M06.A-R.1.1.2 Find the unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b (with b 0) and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship. Example 1: This recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so there is 3/4 cup of flour for each cup of sugar. Example 2: We paid $75 for 15 hamburgers, which is a rate of $5 per hamburger. M06.A-R.1.1.3 Construct tables of equivalent ratios relating quantities with whole-number measurements, find missing values in the tables, and/or plot the pairs of values on the coordinate plane. Use tables to compare ratios. M06.A-R.1.1.4 Solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed. Example: If it took 7 hours to mow 4 lawns, then at that rate, how many lawns could be mowed in 35 hours? At what rate were lawns being mowed? M06.A-R.1.1.5 Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g., 30% of a quantity means 30/100 times the quantity); solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percentage. M06.A-N.1.1.1 Interpret and compute quotients of fractions (including mixed numbers), and solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions. Example 1: Given a story context for (2/3) (3/4), explain that (2/3) (3/4) = 8/9 because 3/4 of 8/9 is 2/3. (In general, (a/b) (c/d) = (a/b) (d/c) = ad/bc.) Example 2: How wide is a rectangular strip of land with length 3/4 mi and area 1/2 square mi? Example 3: How many 2 1/4-foot pieces can be cut from a 15 1/2-foot board? M06.A-N.2.1.1 Solve problems involving operations (+,,, and ) with whole numbers, decimals (through thousandths), straight computation, or word problems.

CC.2.1.6.E.4 Apply and extend previous understandings of numbers to the system of rational numbers. M06.A-N.3.1.1 Represent quantities in real-world contexts using positive and negative numbers, explaining the meaning of 0 in each situation (e.g., temperature above/below zero, elevation above/below sea level, credits/debits, positive/negative electric charge). M06.A-N.3.1.2 Determine the opposite of a number and recognize that the opposite of the opposite of a number is the number itself (e.g., ( 3) = 3; 0 is its own opposite). M06.A-N.3.1.3 Locate and plot integers and other rational numbers on a horizontal or vertical number line; locate and plot pairs of integers and other rational numbers on a coordinate plane. M06.A-N.3.2.1 Write, interpret, and explain statements of order for rational numbers in real-world contexts. Example: Write 3 C > 7 C to express the fact that 3 C is warmer than 7 C. M06.A-N.3.2.2 Interpret the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number line and as a magnitude for a positive or negative quantity in a real-world situation. Example: For an account balance of 30 dollars, write 30 = 30 to describe the size of the debt in dollars, and recognize that an account balance less than 30 dollars represents a debt greater than 30 dollars. M06.A-N.3.2.3 Solve real-world and mathematical problems by plotting points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane.

Document Information Page Overview of Contents of Document The Cover Page lays out the Topics taught within each Cycle as well as the corresponding dates. The Benchmark Cycle Standards pages that precede each cycle outline all of the standards that are taught within that cycle. These are, therefore, all of the standards that may be on that Cycle s Benchmark. The Benchmark Cycle Scope and Sequence pages provide suggested pacing that allows for 1 day per lesson plus some flex days. We recommend proactively using the flex days for: reviewing pre-requisite content, splitting lessons over multiple days, assessing, reteaching, and doing projects. Of course, some of these will also be taken by field trips and other school activities. The PA Core Standards and Eligible Content by Cycle page lists all of the standards and indicates in which cycle(s) they are taught. What is a Cycle? We want to offer clarity on what appears on each benchmark. Additionally, there should be sufficient time to teach that content before it is tested. Because each school administers the benchmark on a different day, not necessarily corresponding with the last day of the Term, we have created Cycles. Each Cycle contains the content that is to be taught and tested on a given benchmark. Please refer to the dates on the Cover Page to ensure you are aware of the beginning and ending dates for each Cycle. What If I Fall Behind? We trust you to make decisions about what is best for your students. This pacing will prepare you for the Benchmarks and PSSA, but it is a suggested, not mandated, pacing. You may also wish to move at a faster pace. Do not feel you should slow down to match this guide. If you are concerned about content that you may not reach before the PSSA, consider implementing number talks and other short routines and games. For example, a lot of Geometry vocabulary and concepts could be taught through Which Once Doesn t Belong. Rather than pushing to cover content, or using test prep resources, content can be infused through short but meaningful structures. The table below is purely for informational purposes. We used the PSSA Mathematics Blueprint to calculate what percent of tested content you will cover, based on how much of the book you teach before the test. Again, we recommend depth and understanding over coverage, but we wanted to provide this information for your planning purposes. Percent if Units 10, 4, and 8 are not covered Percent if Units 4 and 8 are not Covered Percent if all but Unit 8 is Covered 65.5-80 (Unit 9 and 10 overlap in their content. It s difficult to gauge how much students can master with just Unit 9 but not 10). 85 92.5 THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PHILADELPHIA, OFFICE OF CURRICULUM, INSTRUCTION, AND ASSESSMENT, CHRISTOPHER SHAFFER, DEPUTY 2017-2018 30
