• Students will be able to analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve problems in the following situations.

• • Compare unit rates including those that involve complex fractions with like or different units

  • Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities

  • Solve problems involving rates, ratios, percentage and proportional relationships

  • Graph or model proportional relationships

  • Recognize the relationship between unit rate, constant of proportionality and the slope of a line.

• Students will apply and extend previous understanding of numbers to include the following applications with rational numbers.

  • Add and subtract rational numbers

  • Determine the distance between two rational numbers on the number line as the absolute value of their differences.

  • Multiply and divide rational numbers

  • Understand and apply the identity and inverse properties of rational numbers

• Students will use the properties of operations to accomplish the following tasks.

• • Simplify  linear expressions with rational coefficients to generate equivalent expressions

  • Write and/or solve linear equations in one variable and justify the solution

  • Write and/or solve linear inequalities in one variable and justify the solutions

• Students will work with random sampling and populations and demonstrate to reach the following goals.  

  • Understand that a sample is a subset of a population

  • Understand that generalizations from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of the population

  • Analyze different data distributions using statistical measures

  • Compare the numerical measures of center, measures of frequency, and measures of variability from two random samples to draw inferences about the population

• Students will be able to develop, use and evaluate probability models.

  • Determine the probability of simple events 

  • Predict outcomes using theoretical probability

  • Perform experiments that model theoretical probabilities

  • Compare theoretical and experimental probabilities

  • Find probabilities of compound events using organized lists, tables, and  tree diagrams 

• Students will understand the relationship between area, surface area, and volume

  • Find the area of triangles, quadrilaterals, and other polygons composed of triangles and rectangles

  • Find the area and perimeter of triangles, rectangles and circles

  • Find the volume and surface area of prisms

Grading is done on a point basis.  Your final term grade is determined by the total number of points earned.

All test and quizzes are graded anonymously, so the teacher does not know which student's paper it is, until entering the data into the data analysis spreadsheet.

Assessments    60-100 points.  Usually 100

Quizzes              30-50  points.  Depending on Materail.  (Note: If the student earns a higher test grade on the Unit Test that is over the same material as the quiz.  The quiz percentage will be raised to match the test percentagel.

In-Class Assignments  Typically 10 pts.   If a student does not finish an in class assignment in class, they should finish it for homework,  and hand it to Mr. Magee, the next day in Class.

Mathia     10-20 points.   Students should either be caught up by their APLSE score or Mr. Magee can give a at level workspace number if requested.

Any questons about grading:  please email      Mr. Magee
