Matter and Energy—Chemical Reactions
Given descriptions or illustrations, students will investigate how evidence of chemical reactions indicates that new substances with different properties are formed.
Using Geometric Concepts and Properties to Solve Problems
Given pictorial representations, the student will use geometric concepts and properties to solve problems from art and architecture.
Using Proportional Relations to Find Missing Measurements of Two-Dimensional Figures
Given pictorial representations and problem situations of 2-dimensional figures or 3-dimensional figures, the student will use proportional reasoning to find a missing measurement.
Using Rational Numbers to Solve Problems
Given a problem situation in verbal form, students will select and use an operation involving rational numbers in order to solve the problem.
Selecting and Using Appropriate Forms of Rational Numbers
Given real-life problems, the student will select an appropriate method and solve problems involving proportional relationships.
Exploring Probability with Dependent Events
The student will investigate and develop the concept of dependent probability, including formalizing procedures related to dependent probability and applications of dependent probability.
Finding Lateral and Total Surface Area
Given concrete models and nets (2-dimensional models) of prisms, pyramids, and cylinders, the student will find and determine the lateral and total surface area.
Matter and Energy—Food Chains, Food Webs, and Energy Pyramids
Given scenarios and descriptions, students will be able to diagram the flow of energy through living systems, including food chains, food webs, and energy pyramids.
Selecting and Using Appropriate Operations
Given problem situations, the student will select and use appropriate operations to solve problems and justify the choice of operations.
Solving Problems that Include Fractions and Decimals
Given problem situations, the student will use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to solve problems involving positive and negative fractions and decimals.
Graphing Data to Demonstrate Relationships
Given problem situations, the student will graph data with a constant rate of change to demonstrate relationships in familiar concepts, such as scaling.
Estimating and Finding Solutions: Percents
Given problem situations involving percents, the student will estimate and find solutions to the problems.
