| Course Description: |
| | Accelerated Math 6th is the first of two courses for advanced learners in the Common Core State Standards math curriculum at the middle level. It begins an advanced or accelerated pathway that allows students to complete a three-year sequence of grade-level curriculum in two years. The course differs from the standard grade 6 math course (Math 6th) in that it addresses all of the grade 6 standards plus half of those from grade 7, which demands a faster pace for instruction and learning. |
