Your Mathematics Standards Companion, Grades 6-8 
What They Mean and How to Teach Them

Transforming the standards into learning outcomes just got a lot easier

In this resource, you can see in an instant how teaching to your state standards should look and sound in the classroom. Under the premise that math is math, the authors provide a Cross-Referencing Index for states implementing their own specific mathematics standards, allowing you to see and understand which page number to turn to for standards-based teaching ideas.

It’s all here, page by page:

• Get the inside scoop on which standards connect, what key vocabulary means, and time-saving tables showing where to focus instruction for each grade 


• Write curriculum for: ratios and proportional relationships, the number system, expressions and equations, functions, geometry, and statistics & probability


• Use the What to Teach pages to deliver powerful standards-based lessons 


• Learn effective techniques to create an environment where all students can experience math break-throughs


• Incorporate the Standards for Mathematical Practice to improve  students’ ability to problem solve, construct viable arguments, use tools strategically, attend to precision, and more


• Cross-referenced index listing the standards in the following states, explaining what is unique to the standards of each state

Your Mathematics Standards Companion is your one-stop guide for teaching, planning, assessing, collaborating, and designing powerful mathematics curriculum.
