Carnegie Learning’s Texas Math Solution includes two Accelerated courses for grade 6 students and grade 7 students. This Accelerated course pathway is designed to prepare students to be ready for and successful in a high school level Algebra 1 course during their 8th grade year.

Year 1 Implementation Recommendations for Grade 7 Accelerated Students
In the first year of adopting Carnegie Learning’s Texas Math Solution, districts who are looking to roster students into the Accelerated Grade 7 course should make note of the following considerations.
If incoming grade 7 students completed an accelerated or advanced course in their 6th grade year that only included the 6th grade math TEKS, then:
Students should use the CL Accelerated Grade 7 Learning Together Component (Textbook or Interactive Lessons).
In addition, students should also use the Accelerated Grade 7 with Readiness customized sequence for the Learning Individually Component (MATHia). This sequence embeds MATHia units that align with the grade 7 math TEKS from the Carnegie Learning Accelerated grade 6 course. These units are strategically embedded within the MATHia modules to scaffold grade 7 math TEKS to the grade 8 math TEKS and, therefore, provide students with additional content to ensure their success in the CL Accelerated Grade 7 course.
If incoming grade 7 students completed an accelerated or advanced course in their 6th grade year that included the grade 6 math TEKS and a selection of grade 7 math TEKS that differ from the grade 7 math TEKS in the Carnegie Learning Accelerated Grade 6 course, then:
Students should use the CL Accelerated Grade 7 Learning Together component (Textbook or Interactive Lessons).
In addition, for the Learning Individually component (MATHia), the district or campus should customize the MATHia content to address the grade 7 math TEKS not previously taught. Carnegie Learning recommends the use of the Accelerated Grade 7 MATHia sequence to align with the Learning Together Component, however, any district or campus can create an additional custom MATHia module(s) with units that align to the specific grade 7 math TEKS that their previous accelerated grade 6 course(s) did not include (compare to Carnegie Learning’s Accelerated Grade 6 course). This additional module can be added for all students or a select group of students to access as needed.
