Course Description

This course is the study of an understanding of number systems and operations and how they relate to one another. It will also study compute fluently and make reasonable estimates using paper and pencil, technology-supported and mental methods. We will also be looking into the study of patterns, relations and functions to model, represent and analyze problem situations that involve variable quantities. This course will be looking into analyzing, modeling and solving problems using various representations such as tables, graphs and equations. We will pose questions and collect, organize, represent, interpret and analyze data to answer those questions. We will also develop and evaluate inferences, predictions and arguments that are based on data. We will also use augmented matrix to solve a system of linear equations.

Learning Objectives

- Scientific notation

- Real numbers

- Representation of integers, rational, and irrational numbers

- Ratios, proportions, and percents

- Square roots

- Integer exponents

- Reasonableness of results

- Real-World problems

- Patterns and sequences

- Linear and nonlinear functions

- Algebraic representations

- Attributes and representations of functions

- Linear equations and inequalities

- Quadratic Equations

- Systems of linear equations in two variables

- Graphical displays

- Making and evaluating claims and predictions

- Formulating problems and models

- Applying knowledge to other content areas

- Making connections between related representations and procedures

- Testing conjectures and justifying algorithms

- Using mathematical representations, language, and symbols

- Writing about mathematics

- Writing and analyzing augmented matrix

- Interpreting and communicating mathematical information
