CURRENT 6TH GRADE MATH PATHWAYS TO TRANSITION CCSS IMPLEMENTATION
The transition to the CCSS for the middle grades will take place over the next two years (2012-2014). In order to assist schools in transitioning
students to courses with new content, the following is a tool intended to help determine course offerings and possible pathways for students. The
pathways will help to minimize gaps for students while also preparing them to be able to access CCSS Algebra for high school credit.
