Evergreen Middle SchoolENGLISH/SOCIAL STUDIES courses6th GradeMajor Assignments/Projects/AssessmentsEnglish 6/Social Studies 61 YearThis sixth grade class combines the Language Arts curriculum withthe Ancient World History curriculum. In Language Arts, students develop their vocabulary and reading comprehension skills in a varietyof literary and informational texts, through both in-class and independent reading experiences. They deepen what they know about textsby analyzing literary/story elements, literary devices, and text organizational structures. They learn to evaluate texts and authors and toshare reading experiences with others. In writing, students build onwhat they have learned in previous grades about writing for differentaudiences and purposes, the writing process and traits of effectivewriting. They deepen their understanding and skills with regard toinformational and argumentative writing. They learn to evaluate theirown writing and to reflect on their own progress as writers.The focus of 6th Grade Social Studies is the study of ancient civilizations. As they learn about ancient civilizations, students study characteristics of cultures and regions, different forms of government andeconomic systems, and the impact of ancient civilizations on worldhistory. Students will use the lenses of history, economics, civics, andgeography and apply important social studies skills, as they read,research, explore, and learn about the world around them and theirplace in it.Essential Understandings Communication enables us to gain and share information aboutself, others, and the world A variety of strategies, tools, and technologies enhance effectivecommunication Audience and purpose influence choices in form, style, andpresentation Cooperation and collaboration support communication andlearning The past influences the present and the future Societal and environmental forces cause change Human and physical characteristics define regionsCritical Content 2019-20 course catalog EssaysNovelsTests/quizzesStudent self reflectionState assessment: SBAOpportunities for extended learning are provided in LA/SSclasses to extend the current learning and offer additionalchallenges to interested students7th GradeEnglish 7/Social Studies 7 (US History 1)1 YearCourse DescriptionThis seventh grade class combines the Language Arts curriculum withthe U.S. History curriculum.

Evergreen Middle SchoolMATH courses2019-20 course catalog6th, 7th, and 8th Grades6th Grade MathDistrict-adopted curriculum: Glencoe Math Course 1Course DescriptionIn this course students focus on four critical areas: (1) connectingratio and rate to whole number multiplication and division and usingconcepts of ratio and rate to solve problems; (2) completing understanding of division of fractions and extending the notion of numberto the system of rational numbers, which includes negative numbers;(3) writing, interpreting, and using expressions and equations; and(4) developing understanding of statistical thinking by describing andsummarizing numerical data sets. Students also build on their workwith area by reasoning about relationships among shapes to determine area, surface area and volume.sions, and solve equations, inequalities and systems of equationsinvolving quadratic expressions; and (5) compare quadratic, linear,and exponential functions to model phenomenon. They also identifythe real solutions of quadratic equations as the zeroes of a relatedquadratic function and expand their experience to more specializedfunctions – absolute value, step, and those that are piecewisedefined. The Mathematical Practice Standards apply throughout thecourse, and together with the content standards allow students to experience math as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makesuse of their ability to make sense of problem situations.GeometryPrerequisitesAlgebra 1District-adopted curriculum: Big Ideas GeometryCourse Description7th Grade MathDistrict-adopted curriculum: Glencoe Math Course 2Course DescriptionIn this course students build on their understanding from 6th gradeby focusing on four critical areas: (1) develop understanding of andapplying proportional relationships; (2) developing understandingof operations with rational numbers (explain the rules for adding,subtracting, multiplying, and dividing with negative numbers) andworking with expressions and linear equations; (3) solving problemsinvolving scale drawings and informal geometric constructions, andworking with two- and three-dimensional shapes to solve problemsinvolving area, surface area, and volume; and (4) drawing inferencesabout populations based on samples.8th Grade MathDistrict-adopted curriculum: Glencoe Math Course 3Course DescriptionIn this course instructional time focuses on three critical areas: (1)formulating and reasoning about expressions and equations, including modeling an association in bivariate data with a linear equationand solving linear equations and systems of equations; (2) graspingthe concept of a function and using functions to describe quantitativerelationships; (3) analyzing two- and three-dimensional space andfigures using distance, angle, similarity, and congruence, and understanding and applying the Pythagorean Theorem.Algebra 1PrerequisitesAlgebra aptitude test, math grades, state assessmentDistrict-adopted curriculum: Big Ideas Algebra 1In Geometry, students explore more complex geometric situationsand deepen their explanations of geometric relationships, movingtowards formal mathematical arguments. The course focuses onsix critical areas: (1) using previous experience with rigid motions,students develop notions about what it means for two objects tobe congruent, establish triangle congruence based on these rigidmotions along with formal constructions, and use this as a familiarfoundation for the development of formal proof, solving problems andproving theorems about triangles, quadrilaterals, and other polygons;(2) build a formal understanding of similarity, using earlier experience with dilations and proportional reasoning, and apply similarityto right triangle trigonometry and the Pythagorean Theorem, and usethe Laws of Sines and Cosines to find missing measures; (3) workwith the geometry of two- and three-dimensional objects, as well asshapes of cross-sections and the result of rotating a two-dimensionalobject about a line; (4) build on the previous work with the Pythagorean Theorem to find distances and use a rectangular coordinate system to verify geometric relationships, including properties of specialright triangles and quadrilaterals, slopes of parallel and perpendicularlines, and the connection of geometric and algebraic definitions ofthe parabola; (5) prove basic theorems about circles, and use coordinate geometry to find equations of circles and determine intersections between lines and circles or parabolas, or between two circles;and (6) compute and interpret theoretical and experimental probabilities of compound events to make informed decisions, and make useof geometric probability models whenever possible.
