Background Test Scores:
5th Grade CRCT Score of 860 – 950 (92% - 100%) 5th Grade ITBS Test of 94th percentile or better in Total Math Score 5th Grade ITBS Test of 80th percentile or better in Total Reading Score
Grade Classroom Performance: Final Grade of 90% or better Completes homework all the time on time Engages in math instruction with minimal or no direction from the teacher Strong skills with number sense Strong understanding of the concepts of ratio and proportion Does not need re-teaching Seeks difficult math content and enjoys math problems that require
persistence

Sixth Grade Advanced Math Content Combination of traditional Pre-Algebra and
Geometry Students need to be able to compute quickly and
accurately.
Combination of all 6th grade content and a few 7th grade topics

Class Routine New topics everyday Teacher direct instruction Students are expected to independently
complete homework

Expectations of Class Students experiencing content between 1 and 2
years ahead of an already rigorous pace. At least 1 new concept and possibly more are
learned everyday. Class time is intense with instruction and
discussion.

Middle School Math Pathways
Sixth grade students taking advanced math are recommended by their teachers for on-level, advanced, or accelerated math as a 7th grader.
Advanced math classes prepare students for the pace of accelerated math classes in high school.
Accelerated math classes prepare students for the pace of AP classes in high school.

Total Picture As you are planning your child’s schedule
think through all of the classes he/she is taking.
Is your child highly motivated to go into a math or science field of study?
Middle School mind set is of rigor. High School is rigorous with GPA impact –
HOPE implications.
