Students solve simple linear equations and inequalities over the rational numbers. Students choose appropriate units of measure and use ratios to convert within and between measurement systems to solve problems. Students know the Pythagorean Theorem and deepen their understanding of plane and solid geometric shapes by constructing figures that meet given conditions and by identifying attributes of figures. Students collect, organize and represent data sets that have one or more variables and identify relationships among variables within a data set both manually and by using an electronic spreadsheet program. Students make decisions about how to approach problems.
Students use strategies, skills and concepts in finding solutions.
Students determine a solution is complete and move beyond a particular problem by generalizing to other situations.
