CURRICULUM BLUEPRINT

Structured Day-by-Day Learning Progression

Carefully calibrated module sequencing designed to take students from initial place-value concrete models to rapid computation automaticity without cognitive burnout.

Day RangeCore Module & SkillPedagogical Focus & Sample ProblemLearning Objective
Units 1–3Ratio Forms & Simplification Mastery
18:24 = 3:4 β€’ 12:16:20 = 3:4:5
Three notations (a:b, a to b, a/b), 3-term ratios (a:b:c), and reducing to lowest terms using GCF.
Flexible notation prevents rigid algorithmic memorization and encourages proportional thinking.

Finding multiplicative patterns, scaling recipes, and filling missing values in structured 2-column tables.
Bridges arithmetic multiplication directly to linear functions and constant rates of change.
Units 6–8Unit Rates & Comparison Shopping
$4.80 for 16 oz = $0.30/oz β€’ 180 miles in 3 hrs = 60 mph
Cost per ounce/pound, best-buy decisions, and speed/distance/time rates (miles per hour).
Grounds proportional reasoning in real-world personal finance and daily life decisions.
Units 9–10Solving Proportions with Cross-Multiplication
x/12 = 15/20 βž” 20x = 180 βž” x = 9
Setting up algebraic proportion equations: a/b = c/d βž” aΒ·d = bΒ·c. Integer and decimal solutions.
The foundational algebraic bridge for 7th grade math, geometry, and high school chemistry stoichiometry.
Units 11–13Scale Drawings & Blueprint Translations
