side lengths of right triangles
and squares. Their
explorations lead to a
discovery of irrational
numbers, square roots, and
the Pythagorean Theorem.

Unit 15: Probability and
Prediction of RealWorld Events: Students
construct sample spaces for
real-world events, determine
the theoretical probability of
those events, compare and
contrast the theoretical and
experimental probabilities
obtained, and make decisions
and predictions based on
those probabilities and
results.
Units
Unit 18: Simulations:
Days
Students select and use
different simulations to model
real-world situations in order
to make conjectures and
decisions.

Students revisit various algebra
foundation topics and use
multiple algebraic
representations (verbal
descriptions, tables, graphs,
and equations) and symbolic
relationships to solve realworld problems.

Students explore data
collection and use graphical
representations to create
data displays (histograms,
circle graphs, scatter plots,
stem and leaf plots, and box
and whisker plots) of realworld situations. They use the
displays and statistical
measures of central tendency
and variability to analyze,
interpret, make predictions,
and determine misuses of the
data.
Unit 17: Readiness and
Supporting: Standards
Review Students use

concepts of volume and surface
area of three-dimensional
geometric solids using models.
They study the relationships
found and make connections to
formulas as well as solve
application problems including
proportional changes and their
effects on the volume and
surface area of similar solids.
