20 The following new benchmarks are from the process standard Mathematical Reasoning and Problem Solving, "In general sense, all of mathematics is problem solving. In all their mathematics, students use problem-solving skills: they choose how to approach a problem, they explain their reasoning, and they check their results." These benchmarks should be embedded in the instruction throughout the entire curriculum. MA.912.A.10.1 Use a variety of problem-solving strategies, such as drawing a diagram, making a chart, guess- and-check, solving a simpler problem, writing an equation, working backwards, and create a table. MA.912.A.10.2 Decide whether a solution is reasonable in the context of the original situation. MA.912.A.10.3 Decide whether a given statement is always, sometimes, or never true (statements involving linear or quadratic expressions, equations, or inequalities rational or radical expressions or logarithmic or exponential functions). The following new benchmarks are from Reading/Language Arts. The purpose of implementng these benchmarks throughout instruction is to develop the necessary vocabulary for the mathematics content. LA The student will use new vocabulary that is introduced and taught directly. LA The student will listen to, read, and discuss familiar and conceptually challenging text. LA The student will relate new vocabulary to familiar words. LA The student will prewrite by using organizational strategies and tools (e.g., technology, spreadsheet, outline, chart, table, graph, Venn Diagram, web, story map, plot pyramid) to develop a personal organizational style. Note: The shaded areas indicate benchmarks we will be phasing out in the future due to the new state course description for Algebra 1. The students will learn these concepts in earlier grades or in other high school courses. For the next couple of years we will continue teaching the necessary sections from the textbook because it is currently being tested. Special Note: Sections 3.6, 6.7, 10.6, and 10.8 will no longer be taught at the Algebra 1 level. Use this extra time to throughly develop the state required benchmarks for Algebra 1.
