Number and Algebra

At Standard, students solve problems involving the comparison, addition and subtraction of integers. They make the connections between
whole numbers and index notation and the relationship between perfect squares and square roots. Students use fractions, decimals and
percentages, and their equivalences. They express one quantity as a fraction or percentage of another. Students solve problems involving
percentages and all four operations with fractions and decimals. They compare the cost of items to make financial decisions. Students
represent numbers using variables. They connect the laws and properties for numbers to algebra. Students assign ordered pairs to given
points on the Cartesian plane. They interpret simple linear representations and model authentic information. Students solve simple linear
equations and evaluate algebraic expressions after numerical substitution.
Measurement and Geometry
Students describe different views of three-dimensional objects. They represent transformations in the Cartesian plane. Students solve simple
numerical problems involving angles formed by a transversal crossing two lines. They use formulas for the area and perimeter of rectangles
and calculate volumes of rectangular prisms. Students classify triangles and quadrilaterals. They name the types of angles formed by a
transversal crossing parallel line.
Statistics and Probability
Students identify issues involving the collection of continuous data. They construct stem-and-leaf plots and dot plots. Students describe the
relationship between the median and mean in data displays. They calculate mean, mode, median and range for data sets. Students determine
the sample space for simple experiments with equally likely outcomes and
assign probabilities to those outcomes.
