Number, Number Sense and Operations Standard 1a. Decompose and recompose whole numbers using factors and exponents (e.g., 32 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = X to 5th power). 1b. explain why “squared” means “second power” and “cubed” means “third power.”
3a Explain why a number is referred to as being “rational.” 3b. recognize that the expression a/b
can mean a parts of size 1/b each, a divided by b, or the ratio of a to b.
Patterns, Functions and Algebra Standard 1. Represent and analyze patterns, rules and functions, using physical materials, tables and graphs. 2. Use word and symbols to describe numerical and geometric patterns, rules and functions. Number, Number Sense and Operations Standard 7.
Use simple expressions involving integers to
represent and solve problems; e.g., if a running back loses 15 yards on the
first carry but gains 8 yards on the second carry, what is the net gain/loss? Data Analysis and Probability Standard 1. Read, construct and interpret line graphs, circle graphs and histograms. 2. Select, create and use graphical representations that are appropriate for the type of data collected. 3. Compare representations of the same data in different types of graphs, such as a bar graph and circle graph. 4. Understand the different information provided by measures of center (mean, mode and median) and measures of spread (range). 5. Describe the frequency distribution of a set of data, as shown in a histogram or frequency table, by general appearance or shape; e.g., number of modes, middle of data, level of symmetry, outliers. 6. Make logical inferences from statistical data. Patterns, Functions and Algebra Standard
1.
Represent and analyze patterns, rules and
functions, using physical materials, tables and graphs.
2.
Use word and symbols to describe numerical and
geometric patterns, rules and functions.
5.
Produce and interpret graphs that represent the
relationship between two variables. Geometry and Spatial Sense6. Extend understanding of coordinate system to include points whose x or y values may be negative numbers. Measurement1. Identify and select appropriate units to measure angles; i.e., degrees. 5. Make conversions within the same measurement system while performing computations. 3. Estimate a measurement to a greater degree of precision than the tool provides. Measurement
2. Use strategies to develop formulas for finding circumference and area of circles, and to determine the area of sectors; e.g., ½ circle, 2/3 circle, 1/3 circle, ¼ circle. 3. Estimate perimeter or circumference and area for circles, triangles, quadrilaterals and irregular shapes a) Estimating lengths, using string or links, areas using tiles or grid and using cubes; b) Measuring attributes (diameter, side lengths, or heights) and using established formulas for circles, triangles, rectangles, and parallelograms. 4. Determine which measure (perimeter, area) matches the context for a problem situation; e.g., perimeter is the context for fencing a garden. 5a. Understand the difference between perimeter and area. 5b. Demonstrate that two shapes may have the same perimeter, but different areas or may have the same area, but different perimeters. 6. Describe what happens to the perimeter and area of a two-dimensional shape when the measurements of the shape are changed; e.g., length of sides are doubled.

Evaluate simple expressions by replacing variables
with given values, and use formulas in problem-solving situations. Patterns, Functions and Algebra1. Represent and analyze patterns, rules and functions, using physical materials, tables and graphs. Geometry and
Spatial Sense
1. Classify and describe two-dimensional geometric figures and objects by using their properties; e.g., interior angle measures, perpendicular/parallel sides, congruent angles/sides. 2. Use standard language to define geometric vocabulary: vertex, face, altitude, diagonal, isosceles, equilateral, acute, obtuse, etc. 3. Use multiple classification criteria to classify triangles; e.g., right scalene triangle. 4.
Identify and define relationships between planes;
i.e., parallel, perpendicular and intersecting. 5. Predict and describe sizes, positions and orientations of two-dimensional shapes after transformations such as reflections, rotations, translations and dilations. 6. Draw similar figures that model proportional relationships; e.g., model similar figures with a 1 to 2 relationship by sketching two of the same figure, one with corresponding sides twice the length of the other. Number, Number Sense and Operations Standard 4. Describe what it means to find a specific percent of a number, using real-life examples. 5. Use models and pictures to relate concepts of ratio and percent, including percents less than 1 and greater than 100. · Extend with Parkside materials. 7. Use simple expressions involving integers to represent and solve problems; e.g., if a running back loses 15 yards on the first carry but gains 8 yards on the second carry, what is the net gain/loss? 8. Represent multiplication and division situations involving fractions and decimals with models and visual representations; e.g., show with pattern blocks what it means to take 2 2/3 ¸ 1/6. 10.
