Interactive Math Glossary
Estimating Measurements and Using Formulas: Surface Area
Given application problems involving lateral or total surface area the student will estimate measurements and solve the problems.
Estimating Measurements and Using Formulas: Volume
Given application problems involving volume, the student will estimate measurements and solve the problems.
Estimating Measurements and Using Models and Formulas: 3-Dimensional Figures
Given application problems involving 3-dimensional figures, the student will estimate measurements, including surface area and/or volume, then solve the problems.
Using the Pythagorean Theorem to Solve Indirect Measurements
Given real-life problems, the student will use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the problems.
Approximating the Value of Irrational Numbers
Given problem situations that include pictorial representations of irrational numbers, the student will find the approximate value of the irrational numbers.
Expressing Numbers in Scientific Notation
Given problem situations, the student will express numbers in scientific notation.
Determining if a Relationship is a Functional Relationship
The student is expected to gather and record data & use data sets to determine functional relationships between quantities.
Graphing Dilations, Reflections, and Translations
Given a coordinate plane, the student will graph dilations, reflections, and translations, and use those graphs to solve problems.
Graphing and Applying Coordinate Dilations
Given a coordinate plane or coordinate representations of a dilation, the student will graph dilations and use those graphs to solve problems.
Developing the Concept of Slope
Given multiple representations of linear functions, the student will develop the concept of slope as a rate of change.
Generating Different Representations of Relationships
Given problems that include data, the student will generate different representations, such as a table, graph, equation, or verbal description.
Predicting, Finding, and Justifying Data from a Graph
Given data in the form of a graph, the student will use the graph to interpret solutions to problems.
Generalizing Proportions from Similar Figures
Given a pair of similar figures, including dilations, students will be able to generalize that the lengths of corresponding sides are proportional.
Graphing Proportional Relationships
Given a proportional relationship, students will be able to graph a set of data from the relationship and interpret the unit rate as the slope of the line.
Mean Absolute Deviation
Given a set of data with no more than 10 data points, students will be able to determine and use the mean absolute deviation to describe the spread of the data.
Generalizing about Populations from Random Samples
Given a population with known characteristics, students will be able to use a variety of methods to generate random samples of the same size in order to understand how a random sample is representative of a population.
