options: 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.
problem_activity: A random group of 6th and 8th grade students at a school are asked the question: Do you prefer to complete your homework on a computer or on paper?
Of the 56 sixth graders, 18 answered computer and 38 answered paper.
Of the 60 eighth graders, 52 answered computer and 8 answered paper.
a.   Create a two-way table to represent the data. Label your rows as 6th graders and 8th graders.
b.   What is the proportion, of all of the students, who are in 8th grade and prefer to complete their homework on a computer?
c.   Of the students who prefer to complete their homework on paper, what proportion are in 6th grade?
d.   A student is selected at random from either the 6th or 8th grade at this school. What do you predict is this student's  preferred method of completing their homework? Explain your reasoning.
