to solve scale-model and other problems with fractions and decimals.
E. Select and use appropriate
methods for computing from among mental arithmetic, paper and pencil, calculator,
or computer methods.
- The student will determine, use,
and justify the best strategy for solving a variety of real-world mathematics
problems.
F. Use mental computation,
estimation, and calculators to solve problems, predict results, and evaluate
reasonableness of results.
L. Apply algebraic methods
to solve a variety of real-world and mathematical problems.
The student will solve practical
problems involving whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers including percents.
Problems will be of varying complexities, involving real-world data.
V. Measurement
A. Extend their understanding
of the concepts of length, capacity, weight (mass), perimeter, area, volume,
time, temperature, and angle measure.
D. Understand the structure
and use of nonstandard and standard (U.S. customary and metric) systems of measurement.
E. Select and use appropriate
tools and units to measure to the degree of accuracy required in a particular
situation.
- The student will use measuring
devices including rulers, protractors, clocks, balances/scales, calipers, stop
watches, thermometers, speedometers, and wheels and measure to the required
degree of accuracy.
- The student will make reasonable
estimates of conversions between the metric and U.S. customary systems of measurements.
H. Use measurements and formulas to solve real-world
and mathematical problems
- The student will determine time
in different time zones
VII. Computer/Technology
Standards
B. Communicate through networks
and telecommunication.
- The student will use local and
worldwide network communication systems
