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.
The OpenSciEd units are designed to support teachers who are new to three-dimensional learning, e
SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY-This module places emphasis on the processes of technological design as students investigate the size, shape, and strength of various structures. Students determine what shapes make a structure strong and steady and identify the design elements of structures they find in their local environment. In this way, students learn that changing the shape of a material can affect its strength and that joining materials together in certain ways does so as well.
