General Information
Directions for Interpreting the Minimum Required Content (from page 10 of ACOS 2010) and Equations || Geometry || Statistics and Probability || Grade-Level Overview Critical Focus Areas are identified for each grade level. Appendices of special interest to middle grades Glossary - defines mathematical terms in the document. Very helpful!!! (pages 140-143)
 * DOMAINS are large groups of related content standards. Sometimes standards from different domains may be closely related. There are 11 domains in grades 6-8. These are also known as Learning Progressions.
 * 6th Grade || Ratios and Proportional Relationships || The Number System || Expressions
 * 7th Grade ||^  ||^   ||^   ||^   ||^   ||
 * 8th Grade || Functions ||^  ||^   ||^   ||^   ||
 * CLUSTERS are groups of related content standards. Due to the fact that mathematics is a connected subject, standards from different clusters may sometimes be closely related.
 * CONTENT STANDARDS are written beneath each cluster. Standards define what students should understand (know) and be able to do at the conclusion of a course or grade. Content standards contain minimum required content. The order in which standards are listed within a course or grade is not intended to convey a sequence for instruction. Each content standards completes the phrase "//Students will//."
 * CONTENT STANDARD IDENTIFIERS are found in the brackets following each content standard. This information identifies the student grade level, the national mathematics Common Core State Standard (CCSS) domain, and the CCSS number. Teachers can use this identifier to find standard-specific resources from other states.
 * Each grade of standards is preceded with an overview of the domains and clusters covered in that grade as well as a narrative about the focus of that grade. A listing of the domains and clusters are also given in outline form. The Standards for Mathematical Practice are repeated for emphasis on each overview page.
 * 6th Grade
 * 7th Grade
 * 8th Grade
 * C - Literacy Standards for Grades 6-12 (Math is considered a technical subject.)
