All students will have the opportunity to study linear functions in middle school.You are strongly encouraged to consider relevant readiness criteria when selecting compacted pacing. Families can self-select the most appropriate math pacing for their child.See below for more information about this option. Some students may be prepared to skip 6th grade math and begin middle school in CC 7/8.Most students will begin middle school in CC 6 and make a decision at the end of 6th grade about which pacing best suits them.As shown here in red, Issaquah School District middle school students may choose between Common Core Grade Level Pacing and Compacted Pacing. Our middle school math courses are based on recommendations in Appendix A of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics The authors of the Common Core recommend that acceleration in math should be accomplished by compacting content rather than by skipping content.Some students may be prepared to skip 6th grade math and begin middle school in CC 7/8, which is explained in further detail on the link below, under 'Are you ready for Common Core (CC) 7/8? Therefore, students are encouraged to begin middle school in CC 6 and make a decision at the end of 6th grade about which pacing best suits them.

The authors of the Common Core (CC) recommend that acceleration in math should be accomplished by compacting content rather than by skipping content. As we implement the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M), it is critical that our middle school math courses are strongly aligned to the new standards to prepare our students to be college- and career-ready.Middle School Math Curriculum Common Core Middle School Math Courses
