11 OnTRACK Grade 8 Math: Proportionality
Students learn to to use proportional relationships to describe dilation; explain proportional and non-proportional relationships involving slope; and use proportional and non-proportional relationships to develop foundational concepts of functions.
6 OnTRACK Algebra I: Properties and Attributes of Functions
Students will learn how to use the properties and attributes of functions.
Selecting a Method to Solve Equations or Inequalities
Given an equation or inequality, the student will select a method (algebraically, graphically, or calculator) to solve the equation or inequality.
Predicting the Effects of Changing Slope in Problem Situations
Given verbal, symbolic, numerical, or graphical representations of problem situations, the student will interpret and predict the effects of changing the slope in the context of the situations.
Using Properties of Transformations
Given examples of mathematics in the real world, the student will use properties of transformations and their composites to describe and perform transformations of figures in a plane.
Connecting Postulates, Definitions, and Theorems
The student will distinguish the difference between undefined terms, definitions, postulates, conjectures, and theorems.
Constructing and Justifying Statements about Geometric Figures
Students will distinguish between undefined terms, definitions, postulates, conjectures, and theorems and investigate patterns to make conjectures about geometric relationships.
Applying Trigonometric Ratios
Given problem situations involving similar figures, the student will apply and justify triangle similarity relationships such as trigonometric ratios.
Using Logical Reasoning to Prove Conjectures about Circles
Given conjectures about circles, the student will use deductive reasoning and counterexamples to prove or disprove the conjectures.
Rational Functions: Predicting the Effects of Parameter Changes
Given parameter changes for rational functions, students will be able to predict the resulting changes on important attributes of the function, including domain and range and asymptotic behavior.
Coordinate Geometry: Special Segments
The student will derive and use the slope and midpoint formulas to verify geometric relationship that include parallelism and perpendicularity of lines. Then, the student will determine an equation of a line parallel or perpendicular to a given line.
Solving Square Root Equations Using Tables and Graphs
Given a square root equation, the student will solve the equation using tables or graphs - connecting the two methods of solution.
Investigating Methods for Solving Linear Equations and Inequalities
Given linear equations and inequalities, the student will investigate methods for solving the equations or inequalities.
Writing Verbal Descriptions of Functional Relationships
Given a problem situation containing a functional relationship, the student will verbally describe the functional relationship that exists.
