Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 28 - EDUCATION › Part CLXXI - Bulletin 745-Louisiana Teaching Authorizations of School Personnel › Chapter 19 - Grade 8 › Section CLXXI-1903 - Expressions and Equations

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. Know and
				apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical
				expressions.
Example: 32 x
				  3-5=3-3=1/33=1/27
B. Use square root and cube root
				symbols to represent solutions to equations of the form
x2=p
and
x
3
=p,
where
p
is a
				positive rational number Evaluate square roots of small perfect squares and
				cube roots of small perfect cubes. Know that [RIGHT]2 is irrational.
C. Use numbers expressed in the form of a
				single digit times an integer power of 10 to estimate very large or very small
				quantities, and to express how many times as much one is than the other
Example: Estimate the population of the United States as 3 x
				  108 and the population of the world as 7 x
				  109, and determine that the world population is more
				  than 20 times larger.
D.
				Perform operations with numbers expressed in scientific notation, including
				problems where both decimal and scientific notation are used. Use scientific
				notation and choose units of appropriate size for measurements of very large or
				very small quantities (e.g., use millimeters per year for seafloor spreading).
				Interpret scientific notation that has been generated by technology.
E. Graph proportional relationships,
				interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different
				proportional relationships represented in different ways.
Example: Compare a distance-time graph to a distance-time
				  equation to determine which of two moving objects has greater speed.
F. Use similar triangles to
				explain why the slope m is the same between any two distinct points on a
				non-vertical line in the coordinate plane; derive the equation
y=mx
for a line through the origin and the equation
y=mx + b for a
line intercepting the vertical axis at
b.
G. Solve linear
				equations in one variable.
1. Give examples
				of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many
				solutions, or no solutions. Show which of these possibilities is the case by
				successively transforming the given equation into simpler forms, until an
				equivalent equation of the form
x=a
,
a=a
, or
a=b
results (where
a
and
b
are different numbers).
2. Solve
				systems of two linear equations in two variables algebraically, and estimate
				solutions by graphing the equations. Solve simple cases by inspection.
Example: 3
x
+ 2
y
=5 and
				  3
x
+ 2
y
=6 have no solution because
				  3
x
+ 2
y
cannot simultaneously be 5 and
				  6.

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. Understand that
				a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph
				of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the
				corresponding output. (Function notation is not required in this grade
				level.)
B. Compare properties of
				two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically,
				numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions).
Example: Given a linear function represented by a table of
				  values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine
				  which function has the greater rate of change.
C. Interpret the equation
y=mx +
				b
as defining a linear function whose graph is a straight line;
				categorize functions as linear or nonlinear when given equations, graphs, or
				tables.
Example: The function
A
=
s
2 giving the
				  area of a square as a function of its side length is not linear, because its
				  graph contains the points (1,1), (2,4), and (3,9), which are not on a straight
				  line.
D. Construct a
				function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the
				rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a
				relationship or from two (
x, y
) values, including reading
				these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial
				value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of
				its graph or a table of values.
E.
				Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by
				analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear
				or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a
				function that has been described verbally.

A.
				Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to
				investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns
				such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear
				association, and nonlinear association.
B. Know that straight lines are widely used
				to model relationships between two quantitative variables. For scatter plots
				that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and
				informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to
				the line.
C. Use the equation of a
				linear model to solve problems in the context of bivariate measurement data,
				interpreting the slope and intercept.
Example: In a linear model for a biology experiment,
				  interpret a slope of 1.5 cm/hr as meaning that an additional hour of sunlight
				  each day is associated with an additional 1.5 cm in mature plant height.
D. Understand that patterns of
				association can also be seen in bivariate categorical data by displaying
				frequencies and relative frequencies in a two-way table. Construct and
				interpret a two-way table summarizing data on two categorical variables
				collected from the same subjects. Use relative frequencies calculated for rows
				or columns to describe possible association between the two variables.
Example: Collect data from students in your class on whether
				  or not they have a curfew on school nights and whether or not they have
				  assigned chores at home. Is there evidence that those who have a curfew also
				  tend to have chores?

A. Explain why
				the sum or product of two rational numbers is rational; that the sum of a
				rational number and an irrational number is irrational; and that the product of
				a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is irrational.
B. Use units as a way to understand problems
				and to guide the solution of multi-step problems; choose and interpret units
				consistently in formulas; choose and interpret the scale and the origin in
				graphs and data displays.

A. Interpret
				expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context.
1. Interpret parts of an expression, such as
				terms, factors, and coefficients.
2. Interpret complicated expressions by

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. Understand that
				a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the range)
				assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. If
f
is a function and
x
is an element of its
				domain, then
f
(
x
) denotes the output of
f
corresponding to the input
x
. The graph of
f
is the graph of the equation
y=f
(
x
).
B. Use function notation, evaluate functions
				for inputs in their domains, and interpret statements that use function
				notation in terms of a context.
C.
				Recognize that sequences are functions whose domain is a subset of the
				integers. Relate arithmetic sequences to linear functions and geometric
				sequences to exponential functions.
D. For linear, piecewise linear (to include
				absolute value), quadratic, and exponential functions that model a relationship
				between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of
				the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal
				description of the relationship. (Key features include: intercepts; intervals
				where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative
				maximums and minimums; symmetries; and end behavior.)
E. Relate the domain of a function to its
				graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes.
Example: If the function
h
(
n
) gives the number of person-hours it
				  takes to assemble
n
engines in a factory, then the positive
				  integers would be an appropriate domain for the function.
F. Calculate and interpret the average rate
				of change of a linear, quadratic, piecewise linear (to include absolute value),
				and exponential function (presented symbolically or as a table) over a
				specified interval. Estimate the rate of change from a graph.
G. Graph functions expressed symbolically,
				and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using
				technology for more complicated cases.
1.
				Graph linear and quadratic functions and show intercepts, maxima, and
				minima.
2. Graph piecewise linear
				(to include absolute value) and exponential functions.

A. Use
				statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare center
				(median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, standard deviation) of two or
				more different data sets.
B.
				Interpret differences in shape, center, and spread in the context of the data
				sets, accounting for possible effects of extreme data points
				(outliers).
C. Summarize
				categorical data for two categories in two-way frequency tables. Interpret
				relative frequencies in the context of the data (including joint, marginal, and
				conditional relative frequencies). Recognize possible associations and trends
				in the data.
D. Represent data on
				two quantitative variables on a scatter plot, and describe how the variables
				are related.
1. Fit a function to the data;
				use functions fitted to data to solve problems in the context of the data. (Use
				given functions or choose a function suggested by the context. Emphasize linear
				and quadratic models.)
2.
				Informally assess the fit of a function by plotting and analyzing
				residuals.
3. Fit a linear function
				for a scatter plot that suggests a linear association.

A. Explain how
				the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the
				properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for
				radicals in terms of rational exponents.
Example: We define 51/3 to be the
				  cube root of 5 because we want
				  (51/3)3=5(1/3)3 to hold,
				  so (51/3)3 must equal 5.
B. Rewrite expressions involving radicals and
				rational exponents using the properties of exponents.
C. Define appropriate quantities for the
				purpose of descriptive modeling.
D.
				Know there is a complex number
i
such that
i
2
=-1,
and every complex number has
				the form a +
bi
with a and b real.
E. Use the relation
i
2

				numbers.
F. Solve quadratic
				equations with real coefficients that have complex solutions.

Example: The expression 1.15t can
				  be rewritten as
				  (1.151/12)12t [ALMOST
				  EQUAL TO] 1.01212t to reveal the approximate
				  equivalent monthly interest rate if the annual rate is 15 percent.

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. Describe
				events as subsets of a sample space (the set of outcomes) using characteristics
				(or categories) of the outcomes, or as unions, intersections, or complements of
				other events ("or," "and," "not").
B. Understand that two events
A
and
B
are independent if the probability of
A
and
B
occurring together is the product of
				their probabilities, and use this characterization to determine if they are
				independent.
C. Understand the
				conditional probability of
A
given
B
as
P
(
A
and
B
)
/P
(
B
), and interpret
				independence of
A
and
B
as saying that the
				conditional probability of
A
given
B
is the
				same as the probability of
A
, and the conditional probability
				of
B
given
A
is the same as the probability
				of
B
.
D. Construct
				and interpret two-way frequency tables of data when two categories are
				associated with each object being classified. Use the two-way table as a sample
				space to decide if events are independent and to approximate conditional
				probabilities.
Example: Collect data from a random sample of students in
				  your school on their favorite subject among math, science, and English.
				  Estimate the probability that a randomly selected student from your school will
				  favor science, given that the student is in grade 10. Do the same for other
				  subjects, and compare the results.
E. Recognize and explain the concepts of
				conditional probability and independence in everyday language and everyday
				situations.
Example: Compare the chance of having lung cancer if you are
				  a smoker with the chance of being a smoker if you have lung cancer.
F. Find the conditional
				probability of
A
given
B
as the fraction of
B
s outcomes that also belong to
A
, and
				interpret the answer in terms of the model.
G. Apply the addition rule,
				P(
A
or
B
)=P(
A
) +
				P(
B
) - P(
A
and
B
), and
				interpret the answer in terms of the model.
