No extra materials are required, although some students may feel the need for paper and pencil, an accessible substitute like MathPad or a calculator. Students verify and interpret results with respect to the original problem situation. Students acquire confidence in using mathematics meaningfully. Mathematics as Communication Students understand and apply reasoning processes, with special attention to spatial reasoning and reasoning with graphs. Mathematics Connections Students apply mathematical thinking and modeling to solve problems that arise in other disciplines, such as science and aeronautics.
Students value the role of mathematics in our culture and society.
Number Systems and Number Theory Students develop and apply number theory concepts in real-world and mathematical problem situations. Computation and Estimation Students compute whole numbers. Statistics Students read and interpret charts and graphs. Measurement Students extend their knowledge of the process of measurement. Students estimate, make and use measurements to describe and compare phenomena.
