[quote=Anonymous]Have you all looked at the M7 standards? There is very little that actually helps with algebra readiness. There’s a lot of things that have been spiraled for years that continue to spiral. I’m not sure that doing M7 really helps bright kids other than buying them another year of brain maturity for abstract concepts, because they aren’t learning much new content. The kids scoring high enough on multiple assessments to place into algebra don’t need another whole unit on comparing and ordering fractions/decimals/percents. They got it the first time.

Scientific notation
Ordering and comparing rational numbers
Relate square roots and perfect squares
Add/subtract/multiply/divide fractions and decimals in word problems
Use proportions to solve word problems
Volume and surface area of cylinders and rectangular prisms
Identify similar figures for rectangles and triangles
Classify quadrilaterals
Dilate polygons on a coordinate plane
Theoretical vs experimental probability
Data collection strategies
Graph lines in the form y=mx
Evaluate expressions with the order of operations
Combine like terms
2 step equations

The last 4 can be taught to very bright kids in a week (but they’ve already seen order of ops last year, so it’s really just 3 things)[/quote]
