The curriculum map that follows for the eighth grade uses a sequence represented by the Big Ideas Common Core Curriculum. Our current math curriculum Math Connects Course 3 is not aligned to the Common Core. We anticipate using Big Ideas Math when we fully implement Common Core instruction in school year 2014-2015. The Big Ideas Math curriculum will be piloted during the 2013-2014 year in several classes. Instructional activities are from Big Ideas Math (BI), and the Common Core Math Standards with Hands-On “Teaching Activities (HOCC).
