DSP Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability

Make inferences about a population using random sampling.
- 10 Examine a sample of a population to generalize information about the population.
  - 10.a Differentiate between a sample and a population.

PR Proportional Reasoning

Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.

1 Calculate unit rates of length, area, and other quantities measured in like or different units that include ratios or fractions.

2 Represent a relationship between two quantities and determine whether the two quantities are related proportionally.

2.a Use equivalent ratios displayed in a table or in a graph of the relationship in the coordinate plane to determine whether a relationship between two quantities is proportional.

2.b Identify the constant of proportionality (unit rate) and express the proportional relationship using multiple representations including tables, graphs, equations, diagrams, and verbal descriptions.

2.c Explain in context the meaning of a point (x,y) on the graph of a proportional relationship, with special attention to the points (0,0) and (1, r) where r is the unit rate.

3 Solve multi-step percent problems in context using proportional reasoning, including simple interest, tax, gratuities, commissions, fees, markups and markdowns, percent increase, and percent decrease.

NO Number Systems and Operations

Apply and extend prior knowledge of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to operations with rational numbers.

4 Apply and extend knowledge of operations of whole numbers, fractions, and decimals to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers including integers, signed fractions, and decimals.

4.a Identify and explain situations where the sum of opposite quantities is 0 and opposite quantities are defined as additive inverses.

4.b Interpret the sum of two or more rational numbers, by using a number line and in real-world contexts.

4.c Explain subtraction of rational numbers as addition of additive inverses.

4.d Use a number line to demonstrate that the distance between two rational numbers on the number line is the absolute value of their difference, and apply this principle in real-world contexts.

4.e Extend strategies of multiplication to rational numbers to develop rules for multiplying signed numbers, showing that the properties of the operations are preserved.

4.f Divide integers and explain that division by zero is undefined. Interpret the quotient of integers (with a non- zero divisor) as a rational number.
