PROVISO: All lessons provided in non-Catholic textbooks are carefully screened to ensure they are appropriate for our students and do not in any way undermine Catholic teachings, morals, or values. Should a lesson be found lacking in the above conditions, it will not be presented to our students.

Grades 5–8 Big Ideas

i-Ready Mathematics is an online program that provides students of all ages with differentiated instruction and supports them on their individual paths to success. Backed by cutting-edge research on best mathematics learning practices, students gain experience through concrete examples and engaging lessons. Its responsive instruction provides consistent insight into student understanding and performance, enabling teachers to monitor their students’ progress and help them prepare for standards-based assessments and beyond.

Big Ideas Math includes two course offerings: 
 

  • Course 1 — Regular Pathway for 6th Grade math students 
  • Advanced Course 1 — Advanced Pathway for our high-achieving 6th Grade math students who plan to complete Algebra 1 in the 8th grade.

 
This program will grow with this group of students. We will add Course 2 and Advanced Course 2 the following year, with Course 3 and Algebra 1 to be added the third year.

 
Big Ideas provides for the typical math student to take the time needed to master the math concepts, yet provides for advanced students to move at a quicker pace.


Both pathways produce students well equipped for high school math classes.
