Students perform calculations and solve problems involving addition, subtraction, and simple multiplication and division of fractions and decimals. Students use variables in simple expressions, compute the value of the expression for specific values of the variable, and plot and interpret the results. Students understand and compute the volumes and areas of simple objects. Students identify, describe, and classify the properties of, and the relationship between, plane and solid geometric figures. Students display, analyze, compare, and interpret different data sets, including data sets of different sizes.
Students make decisions about how to approach problems.
Students use strategies, skills, and concepts in finding solutions. Students move beyond a particular problem by generalizing to other situations. Calculators are not to be used for arithmetic skills. They should be used as a tool when solving applied problems that involve extremely large numbers, and for finding patterns.
