Strands with Cumulative Progress Indicators
A. Numerical Operations
-
Express quantities using appropriate number formats, such as:
• decimals
• percents
• scientific notation
B. Geometry and Measurement
-
Perform mathematical computations using labeled quantities and express answers in correctly derived units.
C. Patterns and Algebra
-
Express physical relationships in terms of mathematical equations derived from collected data.
D. Data Analysis and Probability
-
Represent and describe mathematical relationships among variables using:
• graphs
• tables
• charts -
Analyze experimental data sets using measures of central tendency:
• mean
• mode
• median -
Construct and use a graph of experimental data to draw a line of best fit and identify a linear relationship between variables.
-
Use computer spreadsheets, graphing and database applications to assist in quantitative analysis of data (see mathematics standard 4.5-F).
