Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
When reading texts, including those from diverse cultures, determine the theme, how characters respond to conflict or how the speaker reflects upon a topic, and summarize the text. (Literature)
When reading texts, including those from diverse cultures, determine the main idea of a text, explain how they are supported by key details and summarize the text. (Informational)
Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases, choosing flexibly from a range of strategies.
Analyze how a sentence, paragraph, stanza, chapter, scene, or section fits into the overall structure and how it contributes to the development of theme, main idea, settings, or plot. (Literature)
Analyze how a particular sentence, paragraph, chapter, or section fits into the overall structure of a text and how it contributes to the development of the main idea. (Informational)
Writing: I can…
Write arguments to support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence, and provide a concluding section related to the argument presented.
Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic that conveys ideas and information clearly and provide a concluding section that supports the information or explanation presented.
Use appropriate conventions and style for the audience, purpose, and task.
Ratios and Proportional Relationships: I can use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and non-contextual mathematical problems using strategies such as tables, tape diagrams, double number lines, or equations involving unit rate. Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100.
The Number System: I can…
Interpret, compute, and create contexts for quotients of fractions using strategies in real-world situations.
Have an understanding of rational numbers as a point on the number line and as ordered pairs on the coordinate plane, by extending previous understandings to include negative numbers.
Expressions and Equations: I can…
Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form x + a = b and ax = b.
Write an inequality of the form x > c or x < c to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world or mathematical problem and represent it on the number line.
Use variables to represent two quantities in a real-world problem that change in relationship to one another (dependent and independent variables). Write equations with these variables and analyze their relationship using graphs and tables.
Geometry: I can find the area of triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing and decomposing figures in and out of real-world context.
Statistics and Probability: I can…
Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, including quantitative measures of center and variability; relate the choice of measures to the shape of the data distribution.
Develop and use a model of the Sun-Earth-Moon system to describe the cyclic patterns of lunar phases, eclipses of the Sun and Moon, and seasons. Examples of models could be physical, graphical, or conceptual.
Develop models to show that molecules are made of different kinds, proportions, and quantities of atoms. Emphasize understanding that there are differences between atoms and molecules, and that certain combinations of atoms form specific molecules.
Design an object, tool, or process that minimizes or maximizes heat energy transfer. Identify criteria & constraints, develop a prototype for iterative testing, analyze data from testing, and propose modifications for optimizing the design solution.
Investigate the interactions between air masses that cause changes in weather conditions. Collect and analyze weather data to provide evidence for how air masses flow from regions of high pressure to low pressure causing a change in weather.
Evaluate competing design solutions for preserving ecosystem services that protect resources and biodiversity based on how well the solutions maintain stability within the ecosystem.
Compare how geography, culture, religion, government, technology, and economic systems met human needs and wants in the development of ancient civilizations.
Evaluate how conditions during the Middle Ages fostered developments in science, language, writing, religion, and technology that encouraged global interconnectedness.
Describe the development and continued impact of colonization, imperialism, and independence during 1500 CE - 2000 CE.
Examine human rights and civic responsibilities in the context of world wars, competing political systems, technological change, and current events.
