"This is the master list of everything your middle schooler needs before Algebra. That's it. That's the whole job for right now."
Use any textbook, any curriculum, or any math book you already own. Just look for these concepts. You can also go completely rogue with real-life math, projects, games, and practice problems. The curriculum doesn't matter. These skills do.
Work on these first
These are the gaps that make everything else harder. Start at the top of this list.
Keep strengthening
Almost there. A little practice each week and these tip over into solid.
Already solid
Celebrate these. Your middle schooler earned them, and so did you.
Gaps don't mean failure. They just mean "not yet."
When I sat down and really looked at what my middle schoolers knew, I found gaps I didn't expect. Fractions we'd "done" three times. Decimals that looked solid until they hit a harder problem. It wasn't because I was a bad teacher. That's how math learning works. Middle schoolers need to circle back.
This roadmap isn't a report card. It's a GPS. It shows you where you are so you can figure out where to go next. Almost every gap on this list can be closed in 20 to 30 minutes a day, without a new curriculum, without Algebra, and without losing your mind.
