Operations and Computation

1. Adds and subtracts whole numbers, decimals and negative numbers, and describes the strategies used.
2. Multiplies and divides whole numbers, decimals and negative numbers, and describes the strategies used.
3. Adds and subtracts fractions and mixed numbers, and describes the strategies used.

    

4. Multiplies and divides fractions and mixed numbers, and describes the strategies used.
5. Makes estimates for problems involving whole number, decimal, fraction, and mixed numbers using the four operations, and explains how the estimates were obtained.
6. Creates and solves problems involving rates and ratios and explains alternate strategies used to obtain answers
7. Solves problems involving percents and discounts and explains strategies used
8. Uses expanded notation, number-and-word notation, exponential notation, and scientific notation to represent whole numbers and decimals.
9. Use greatest common factors, lowest common multiples, and divisibility rules to manipulate fractions.
10. Apply the order of operations to numerical expressions to give equivalent names for rational numbers.
11. Finds equivalent fractions and fractions in simplest form and converts between fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, and percents
12. Chooses and applies strategies for comparing and ordering rational numbers and explains those choices and strategies.

Data and Chance

1. Uses data to create bar, line, circle, and stem-and-leaf graphs.
2. Uses the minimum, range, median, mode, and mean to draw conclusions, make prediction, and compares the median and mean of a data set.
3. Use a variety of counting strategies to compare predictions based theoretical probability with experimental results.

Geometry

1. Identify, describe, classify, name and draw angles; determine angle measures by applying properties of orientations of angles and of sums of angle measures in triangles and quadrangles.
2. Identify and describe similar and congruent figures and describe their properties; construct a figure that is congruent to another figure using a compass and straightedge.
3. Identify, describe, and sketch (including plotting on the coordinate plane) instances of reflections, translations, and rotations.
4. Estimate length with and without tools; measure length with tools to the nearest 1/16 inch and millimeter 

5. Estimates and measures length and angles, and draws angles using appropriate tools
6. Uses appropriate formulas to calculate the circumference of circles and to solve area, perimeter, and volume problems.
7. Uses ordered pairs of numbers to name, locate, and plot points in all four quadrants of a coordinate grid.

Patterns, Functions, and Algebra

1. Extends, describes and creates numeric patterns using algebraic notation
2. Solves linear equations with one or two unknowns
3. Describe & apply the order of operations.
4. Describe and apply properties of arithmetic and multiplicative and additive inverses.

Problem Solving   

1. Uses grade level appropriate core concepts and procedures.                                                                              Chooses and carries out strategies that work to solve grade level problems.
2. Uses pictures, symbols, and/or vocabulary to convey the path to the identifiable solution to grade level problems.
3. Obviously checks work or uses another strategy to prove solutions.
