Number and Number Systems

* Identify and justify whether properties (closure, identity, inverse, commutative and associative) hold for a given set and operations; e.g., even integers and multiplication.
* Compare, order and determine equivalent forms for rational and irrational numbers. (Compare Mixed Values , Compare Mixed Values 2 , Positive Number Line , Number Line , Fractions to Decimals , Decimals To Fractions )

Meaning of Operations

* Explain the effects of operations such as multiplication or division, and of computing powers and roots on the magnitude of quantities. (Roots Of Exponential Expressions )

Computation and Estimation

* Demonstrate fluency in computations using real numbers. (Many topics align to this standard)
* Estimate the solutions for problem situations involving square and cube roots. (Estimating Square Roots )

Measurement Units

* Convert rates within the same measurement system; e.g., miles per hour to feet per second; kilometers per hour to meters per second.

Use Measurement Techniques and Tools

* Use unit analysis to check computations involving measurement.
* Use the ratio of lengths in similar two-dimensional figures or three-dimensional objects to calculate the ratio of their areas or volumes respectively. (Area And Volume Proportions )
* Use scale drawings and right triangle trigonometry to solve problems that include unknown distances and angle measures.
* Solve problems involving unit conversion for situations involving distances, areas, volumes and rates within the same measurement system. (Train Problems )

Visualization and Geometric Models

* Analyze two-dimensional figures in a coordinate plane; e.g., use slope and distance formulas to show that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Characteristics and Properties

* Define the basic trigonometric ratios in right triangles: sine, cosine and tangent.
* Apply proportions and right triangle trigonometric ratios to solve problems involving missing lengths and angle measures in similar figures. (Proportions 2 )

Use Patterns, Relations and Functions

* Define function with ordered pairs in which each domain element is assigned exactly one range element.
* Describe problem situations (linear, quadratic and exponential) by using tabular, graphical and symbolic representations. (Algebraic Sentences 2 , Algebraic Sentences )
* Demonstrate the relationship among zeros of a function, roots of equations, and solutions of equations graphically and in words. (Quadratic X-Intercepts , Quadratic Zero Equations , Quadratic Formula )
* Describe and compare characteristics of the following families of functions: linear, quadratic and exponential functions; e.g., general shape, number of roots, domain, range, rate of change, maximum or minimum. (Nonlinear Functions , Domain and Range )

Use Algebraic Representations

* Use formulas to solve problems involving exponential growth and decay.
* Add, subtract, multiply and divide monomials and polynomials (division of polynomials by monomials only). (Distributive Property , Distributive Property 2 , Foil Method , Trinomial Factoring , Binomial Fraction Simplification , Polynomial Fraction Simplification )
* Simplify rational expressions by eliminating common factors and applying properties of integer exponents. (Simplifying Algebraic Expressions 2 , Simplifying Algebraic Expressions , Exponents Of Fractional Bases , Negative Exponents Of Fractional Bases , Multiplying and Dividing Exponent Expressions , Exponent Rules For Fractions )
* Write and use equivalent forms of equations and inequalities in problem situations; e.g., changing a linear equation to the slope-intercept form. (Graphs to Linear Equations 2 )
* Find linear equations that represent lines that pass through a given set of ordered pairs, and find linear equations that represent lines parallel or perpendicular to a given line through a specific point. (Applied Linear Equations 1 , Applied Linear Equations 2 )
* Solve quadratic equations with real roots by factoring, graphing, using the quadratic formula and with technology. (Quadratic Zero Equations , Quadratic Formula , Quadratic X-Intercepts , Integer Word Problems )
* Solve and interpret the meaning of 2 by 2 systems of linear equations graphically, by substitution and by elimination, with and without technology. (System of Equations Substitution , System of Equations Addition )

Analyze Change

* Model and solve problems involving direct and inverse variation using proportional reasoning.
* Describe the relationship between slope and the graph of a direct variation and inverse variation.
* Describe how a change in the value of a constant in a linear or quadratic equation affects the related graphs.

Data Collection

* Classify data as univariate (single variable) or bivariate (two variables) and as quantitative (measurement) or qualitative (categorical) data.
* Create a scatterplot for a set of bivariate data, sketch the line of best fit, and interpret the slope of the line of best fit.

Statistical Methods

* Analyze and interpret frequency distributions based on spread, symmetry, skewness, clusters and outliers.
* Describe and compare various types of studies (survey, observation, experiment), and identify possible misuses of statistical data.
* Make inferences about relationships in bivariate data, and recognize the difference between evidence of relationship (correlation) and causation.
* Describe characteristics and limitations of sampling methods, and analyze the effects of random versus biased sampling; e.g., determine and justify whether the sample is likely to be representative of the population.

Probability

* Use counting techniques and the Fundamental Counting principle to determine the total number of possible outcomes for mathematical situations.
* Identify situations involving independent and dependent events, and explain differences between, and common misconceptions about probabilities associated with those events. (Object Picking Probability )
* Use theoretical and experimental probability, including simulations or random numbers, to estimate probabilities and to solve problems dealing with uncertainty; e.g., compound events, independent events, simple dependent events. (Probability 2 , Probability , Object Picking Probability )
