Curriculum Coverage in Mathematics for the 2013-14 School Year as Outlined by TN-Core (TN transition to Common Core)
The following Dropped SPIs will NOT appear on the 2013-2014
Dropped SPI’s:
SPI 0706.2.3 Use rational numbers and roots of perfect squares/cubes to solve contextual problems.
SPI 0706.2.4 Determine the approximate location of square/cube roots on a number line.
SPI 0706.3.2 Determine whether a relation (represented in various ways) is a function.
SPI 0706.3.3 Given a table of inputs x and outputs f(x), identify the function rule and continue the pattern.
SPI 0706.3.9 Solve linear inequalities in one variable with rational coefficients symbolically or graphically.
SPI 0706.4.2 Use SSS, SAS, and AA to determine if two triangles are similar.
SPI 0706.5.1 Interpret and employ various graphs and charts to represent data.
SPI 0706.5.2 Select suitable graph types (such as bar graphs, histograms, line graphs, circle graphs, box-and-whisker plots, and stem-and-leaf plots) and use
them to create accurate representations of given data.
SPI 0706.4.3 Apply scale factor to solve problems involving area and volume.
TN-Core recommends the following:
 Stop Teaching the dropped SPIs
 Spend 60-75% of the year on the TN-Core Focus Clusters listed below (The Focus Clusters are identified in red throughout the map.)
7.RP Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real‐world and
mathematical problems (1, 2, 3)
7.NS Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add,
subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers (1, 2, 3)
7.EE Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions (1, 2)
7.EE Solve real‐life and mathematical problems using numerical and
algebraic expressions and equations (3, 4)
The Standards for Mathematical Practice
MP1. Make sense of problems and
persevere in solving them.
MP5. Use appropriate tools
strategically.
MP2. Reason abstractly and
quantitatively.
MP6. Attend to precision.
MP3. Construct viable arguments and
critique the reasoning of others.
MP7. Look for and make use of
structure.
MP4. Model with mathematics.
MP8. Look for and express regularity in
repeated reasoning.
PARCC
Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) committed to developing model content frameworks for mathematics to serve as a
bridge between the Common Core State Standards and the PARCC assessments. The 2013-14 school year is the final year to prepare for the PARCC assessment,
which will replace TCAP/EOC in 2014-15. Constructed Response Assessments (CRA) will be administered in grades 1 through 8, as well as Algebra I, Algebra II,
and Geometry. Course emphases for PARCC Assessments are indicated by:
