Meridian School District Math Framework

Assessment Strategies

The learner will:

Understand and apply concepts and procedures from number sense

 

BENCHMARKS

 

Number and Numeration

 

Understand and use properties and symbolic representations of rational numbers

Explain the magnitude of numbers by comparing and ordering rational numbers

Understand concepts of and use processes involving prime and composite numbers, factors and multiples, and divisibility

 

Computation

 

Understand operations on rational numbers

Compute with rational numbers, powers, and roots

Use mental arithmetic, pencil and paper, calculator, or computer as appropriate to the task involving real numbers

 

Estimation

 

Identify situations involving whole numbers in which estimation is useful

Use estimation to predict computation results and to determine the reasonableness of answers, for example, estimating a grocery bill

 

 

To meet this standard the learner will:

 

1.1

Write ratios in simplest forms (6-1)

Evaluate powers of variables

Use exponents to express repeated multiplication.

Evaluate powers of variables

Use the distributive property to simplify calculations.

Decide whether estimates are reasonable or likely.

Review operations with negative numbers.

Read and write numbers in scientific notation.

Estimate lengths and areas.

Find square roots and cube roots

Distinguish rational numbers from irrational numbers.

1.1.4

Assessment Strategies

The learner will:

 

Understand and apply concepts and procedures from measurement

 

BENCHMARKS

Attributes and dimensions

 

Understand how changes in dimension affect perimeter, area, and volume

Measure objects and events directly or use indirect methods such as finding the volume of a cone given its height and diameter

Calculate rate and other derived and indirect measurements

 

Approximation and precision

 

Understand that measurement is approximate

Estimate to predict and determine when measurements are reasonable, for example, estimating how much paint is needed to paint the walls of a classroom

Systems and tools

Understand the benefits of standard units of measurement and the advantages of metric systems

Select and use tools that will provide an appropriate degree of precision, for example, using kilometers vs. light years

To meet this standard the learner will:

 

1.2.1

Find the area of a circle and sectors of circle (7-6)

1.2.2

Find the surface areas of prisms, cylinders, ad pyramids (9-5)

Find the volumes of prisms, cylinders, pyramids and cones (9-6, 9-7)

1.2.3

Use dimensional analysis to work with nits in rates and conversion factors (7-5)

Recognize how rate and initial value of a real-life situation appear in an equation and a graph representing the situation.

Estimate lengths and areas

Build quadrilaterals from congruent triangles and write expressions for triangles and write expressions for their perimeters.

Find the areas of polygons drawn on a coordinate plane (4-2)
