Proposed Scope and Sequence for Transitional Math course

[Sergio Dussan]

I am done with the *draft* curriculum map for the transitional math course (based on 8th grade standards). See attached word doc. I think we can change the sequence a lot, but it would be nice to check the flow between Foundational Math, Transitional Math, and Algebra 1/Math 1, and make necessary adjustments as a group at our meeting next week.

An important note: Systems of equations is an 8th grade common core math standard. Systems of equations is *not* a high school common core math standard.

Please let me know your preferred sequence for the ten modules of this course.

Great work on the initial draft of the Transition course but did you get a chance to create an overview chart so we can see in one glance how the standards flow from one module to the next? Just wondering for those visual folks like me.

As part of you're analysis, Mr. Kim, could you make an overview chart and append it to the document.  I think it can be very useful for use in making sense of this transitional course that Sergio has created.  I can only imagine that Sergio is necessarily seeking a small break from pouring over those standards after having done so much already to create the course.  If you're not able to, I will seek to create one just for the visual folks out there.

But to note some of the cool features of the document, I like how you preface the document with a title page.  This makes the document really presentable, and I'm thinking of going back and making a similar edit to the traditional pathway courses that were created earlier.  I will commence the laborious process of reviewing your work on these standards and piecing together how you were able to create this document and painstakingly choose the standards and modules.

Again, thanks Sergio, as this is one of the more important courses that we could possibly design.  It will serve as the bridge to make the common core high school mathematics accessible to the populations that we serve.

Tim,

I have attached an excel file. Hopefully this is what you're looking for. If not let me know.

This is the corrected version of the document. Please reference this document when consulting scope and sequence for the transitional math course, now called Foundations for High School Math.
