Represent numerical relationships in graphs, tables, and charts. Understanding the fundamental operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division is central to knowing mathematics. Proficiency in computational skills is essential to problem-solving and other mathematical activities. Estimating, evaluating reasonableness of answers, and obtaining accuracy in calculations are included in this proficiency. Understanding relationships in operations allows students greater facility with mental computation.
Computational skill promotes efficient and confident learners.
Compute and model all four operations with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, sets of numbers, and percents, applying the proper order of operations. W e are faced with massive quantities of information which must be selected, sorted, and analyzed to reach conclusions. Sound decision making requires the ability to collect data effectively, organize data, discover patterns, summarize trends, make inferences, draw conclusions, and make predictions. The ethical use of statistics is a paramount concern in the Information Age. Organize and analyze data using mean, median, mode, and range.
