Actions

MR.N Number and Quantity

  • MR.N.NQ Financial Mathematics

    • MR.N.NQ.A Use financial mathematics to make personal financial decisions.

      • MR.N.NQ.A.1 Define common terms associated with finance (such as interest, compound interest, annuities, retirement funds, amortizations, future value, and present value) and know how each term is related to personal finance.

      • MR.N.NQ.A.2 Calculate compound interest within the context of personal finance (such as credit card debt, home/car purchase, personal loans, and amortization schedules) and use the results to make decisions.

      • MR.N.NQ.A.3 Calculate net pay using gross pay (weekly, biweekly, monthly, or annual) and both fixed and variable deductions (such as withholding tax, Social Security tax, insurance costs, retirement investments and other contributory benefits).

      • MR.N.NQ.A.4 Access and use published data (such as cost of city or state utilities, housing, city or state taxes, meals, and other costs of living) to estimate and compare monthly living expenses based on location, identified needs, and personal preferences or desired lifestyles.

      • MR.N.NQ.A.5 Access and use published data (such as average life expectancy based on location and/or health issues, investment data, retirement funds, and annuity data) to calculate and compare retirement investments (such as total savings and monthly payouts) based on projected income.

      • MR.N.NQ.A.6 Access and use published data to create depreciation schedules and analyze the depreciation of various assets (such as cars, business equipment, and store fixtures).

      • MR.N.NQ.A.7 Access and use published data to calculate income tax based on projected gross annual income, returns on investments, tax deductions and tax credits, and other factors that affect calculations.

      • MR.N.NQ.A.8 Develop a personal mid-term (three to five years) financial plan based on anticipated income, projected living expenses, projected retirement or other savings, and other factors that affect personal finances.

    • MR.N.NQ.B Use financial mathematics to make business decisions.

      • MR.N.NQ.B.9 Compare the components of a small business plan to the components of a personal financial plan (i.e., identify components that are common to both plans and components that are unique to a small business plan).

      • MR.N.NQ.B.10 Define common terms associated with business finance (such as assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, net profit, net loss, profit margin, and return on investment) and know how each term is related to business finance.

      • MR.N.NQ.B.11 Access and use published data to develop a three-year financial plan for starting and running a small business (including projected income and projected fixed and variable costs such as licenses, rent and utilities, city and state taxes, cost of goods sold, etc.).

MR.A Algebra

MR.D Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability

Geometry and Measurement

  • MR.G.GMD Geometric Measurement

    • MR.G.GMD.A Understand the role of precision in measurement.

      • MR.G.GMD.A.1 Use standard units (metric and non-metric) to accurately measure objects to within 0.1 of the unit used.

      • MR.G.GMD.A.2 Use precise measurements (within 0.1 of the unit used) to calculate area, surface area, and volume/capacity (emphasize common two-and three-dimensional shapes).

      • MR.G.GMD.A.3 Understand and explain the effects that an error in measurement will have on a calculation that uses the erroneous measurement.

    • MR.G.GMD.B Accurately use standard and nonstandard units in measurement.

      • MR.G.GMD.B.4 Use standard units of measure to develop accurately estimated measurements of commonly available non-standard instruments of measurement.

      • MR.G.GMD.B.5 Understand and explain the consequences of relying on nonstandard units of measure.

      • MR.G.GMD.B.6 Use the established dimensions of common non-standard measuring instruments to estimate other measurements using standard units to a given tolerance.

      • MR.G.GMD.B.7 Estimate the area, surface area, volume, or capacity of an object using the established dimensions of common non-standard measuring instruments to determine measurements in standard units with and without using technology.

      • MR.G.GMD.B.8 Estimate the amount of error in a calculation that is based on using established dimensions of common non-standard measuring instruments.

      • MR.G.GMD.B.9 Understand and use unit conversions in estimations involving both standard and non-standard units.

      • MR.G.GMD.B.10 Discuss the various examples and consequences of innumeracy; consider poor estimation, improper experimental design, inappropriate comparisons, and scientific notation comparisons.
