Skills/Standards

 

Number, Number Sense and Operations Standards

1. Demonstrate an understanding of place value using powers of 10 and write large numbers in scientific notation.

4. Use order of operations and properties to simplify numerical expressions involving integers, fractions and decimals.

5. Explain the meaning and effect of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing integers; e.g., how adding two integers can result in a lesser value.

6. Simplify numerical expressions involving integers and use integers to solve real-life problems.

9. Represent and solve problem situations that can be modeled by and solved using concepts of absolute value, exponents and square roots (for perfect squares).

 

 

 

 

 

Measurement Standard

2. Convert units of area and volume within the same measurement system using proportional reasoning and a reference table when appropriate; e.g., square feet to square yards, cubic meters to cubic centimeters.

5. Analyze problem situations involving measurement concepts, select appropriate strategies, and use an organized approach to solve narrative and increasingly complex problems.

 

Geometry and Spatial Standard

 

Patterns, Functions and Algebra Standard

1. Represent and analyze patterns, rules and functions with words, tables, graphs and simple variable expressions.

2. Generalize patterns by describing in words how to find the next term.

4. Create visual representations of equation-solving processes that model the use of inverse operations.

6. Represent inequalities on a number line or a coordinate plane.

7. Justify that two forms of an algebraic expression are equivalent, and recognize when an expression is simplified; e.g., 4m = m + m + m + m or a · 5 + 4 = 5a + 4.

8. Use formulas in problem-solving situations.

9. Recognize a variety of uses for variables; e.g., placeholder for an unknown quantity in an equation, generalization for a pattern, formula.

 

Data Analysis and Probability Standard
