The Student Mathematician’s Journal allows students to explore simulated or real-life problems and help them to think, write, and read like mathematicians. It encourages students to reflect on what they have learned in each lesson, think deeply about mathematics, and communicate in writing on worksheets.
In this unit, students are introduced to numbers from 1,000 to 1,000,000 using a varie
PHYSICAL SCIENCE-Students use their senses to observe and describe the properties of objects and the materials from which the objects are made. They sort and classify objects according to their properties and explain their classification systems. The module introduces simple tools of science, such as rulers, magnifiers, and balances so that students can describe the properties of objects more precisely.

IM 6–8 MathTM Accelerated, a compressed version of IM 6–8 Math™ 3.1415, is a thoughtful alternative to conventional accelerated programs because its design eliminates the possibility for unfinished learning as students arrive at Algebra 1. It includes all of the standards in IM 6–8 Math and compacts them into a two-year curriculum meant to be covered during the 6th and 7th grades. The pace is faster than IM 6-8 Math, but no crucial mathematical concepts are missed.
PHYSICAL SCIENCE-Students explore the changes of matter between solid and liquid and liquid and gas by investigating the changes of state of water as it melts, freezes, condenses, and evaporates. Students recognize that these changes do not occur without the addition or removal of heat. Students become aware that heat transfers from one object to another, and that this conduction can cause a change in material state. Students also become aware that not all forms of matter react the same way to heat or loss of heat. Teams of students use ev
IM® v.360 K-5 Math is an IM Certified curriculum providing trusted, highly rated materials to ensure students thrive in mathematics. Each Illustrative Mathematics lesson has four phases, from pre-unit practice modules to cool downs, focusing students’ attention on definitions, notations, and graphical conventions contributing to the development of real numbers.
Grade 5
The big ideas in grade 5 include: developing fluency with addition and subtraction of fractions, developing understanding of multiplication and division of fractio
EARTH & SPACE SCIENCE-As the title implies, this is an earth science module in which students investigate rocks, soils, and water and the interactions among them. The students observe the earth materials around them and compare different types of soils and rocks. They become aware that soils and rocks vary from place to place in terms of color, texture, and reactions with water. The module includes an introduction to fossils and their formation.
BSCS Science T.R.A
OpenSciEd Middle School science program addresses all middle school NGSS standards. This comprehensive science curriculum empowers students to question, design, investigate, and solve the world around them.
Students explore the unique characteristics of liquids, compare different liquids, and examine how solids and liquids interact with each other. They discover how three liquids--corn syrup, oil, and water--behave when mixed. Students then investigate floating and sinking and some of the variables that affect how solid objects behave in liquids of different densities.
Writing is an integral part of learning science in the Insights curriculum, and a critical skill used by sc
