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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
problem_activity: Task
Hand span is a measure of distance from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the little finger with the hand fully extended.
Each student places his or her dominant hand on the edge of a piece of paper with the hand fully extended.
The student should make a mark at the tip of the thumb and the tip of the little finger. The distance between marks is the length of the hand span.
The student should measure his or her hand span with a centimeter ruler and round the measurement to the nearest whole centimeter.
Each student should record his or her measurement on a piece of paper.
The teacher can ask each student for his or her measurement and record the data using a line plot with a horizontal scale marked off in whole centimeters. Alternatively, the teacher can set up the line plot and ask each student to come record his or her own hand span, showing the students how by recording the teacher's hand span.
Students should comment about patterns they observe the line plot and write or discuss the answers to these two questions:
What are the largest and smallest spans?  What is the difference between the largest and smallest spans?
Use words to describe the shape of the data set.  Does it appear taller in the center like a mountain?  Are there peaks in more than one place?  Is the shape of the data flat like a table top?  Are there gaps?  Are some hand spans much bigger or smaller than the others?
