Common Core StandardsCommon Core Standards
• Practices outlined in CCSS• Always been part of good math
instruction, now will be more emphasized
• Generally – more depth, less scope

PlacementPlacement
• Matrix placement historically accurate
• Student placement re-evaluated near end of first trimester and beyond
• Criteria include IAAT, IOWA math results, Class Quiz/Test Scores, HW Completion, grade, EOY
![Page 8: 6 th Grade Math - Accelerated Mr. Gerdin. Background Education: M.Ed Education (Loyola) BS Chemical Engineering (Wisconsin) Masters Engineering Management.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56649e435503460f94b36a83/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
PlacementPlacement
• Typically students in this class will complete algebra in 8th grade. It is not guaranteed.
• Their placement into high school will depend on a number of factors including their placement test and teacher recommendation.
