options: Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.

Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.

Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.

Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.

Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.

Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.

Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.

Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.

Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.

Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.
problem_activity: Problem 1
The data table below shows the weight of a typical male greyhound, a breed of dog, during the first 28 months of his life. Graph the corresponding points, then connect the points in the order they are given to form a line graph.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"align": "center", "class": ["table", "table-bordered"], "style": "table-layout:fixed; width:30%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Age (in months)"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Weight (in pounds)"}]}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "0"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "4"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "4"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "30"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "8"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "55"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "12"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "66"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "16"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "69"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "20"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "72"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "24"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "72"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "28"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "72"}]}]}]}]}
What do you notice? What do you wonder?
Problem 2
Using the information about a typical male greyhound’s weight from Anchor Task #1, answer the following questions.
How much does a typical male greyhound weigh when he is born?
What does the coordinate pair (12, 66) mean in the context of this graph?
How much weight does the typical male greyhound gain in the first 4 months of his life? How do you know? What about between 4 months and 8 months? How do you know?
How long does it take the typical male greyhound to grow from 55 to 72 pounds?
Challenge: When does the typical male greyhound gain weight the fastest? How do you know? What about the slowest?
Problem 3
Using the information about the typical male greyhound’s weight from Anchor Task #1, answer the following questions.
How heavy do you think a typical male greyhound gets? How do you know from the graph?
At what age do male greyhounds reach their full weight? Why?
How heavy do you think a typical female greyhound gets? Why?
