Overview Ratios and Proportional
Relationships
• Analyze proportional relationships and use
them to solve real-world and mathematical
problems.
The Number System
• Apply and extend previous understandings
of operations with fractions to add, subtract,
multiply, and divide rational numbers.
Expressions and Equations
• Use properties of operations to generate
equivalent expressions.
• Solve real-life and mathematical problems
using numerical and algebraic expressions
and equations.
Geometry
• Draw, construct and describe geometrical
figures and describe the relationships between
them.
• Solve real-life and mathematical problems
involving angle measure, area, surface area,
and volume.
Statistics and Probability
• Use random sampling to draw inferences
about
a population.
• Draw informal comparative inferences about
two populations.
• Investigate chance processes and develop,
use,
and evaluate probability models

The Number System
• Know that there are numbers that are
not rational, and approximate them
by rational numbers.
Expressions and Equations
• Work with radicals and integer
exponents.
• Understand the connections between
proportional relationships, lines, and
linear equations.
• Analyze and solve linear equations and
pairs of simultaneous linear
equations.
Functions
• Define, evaluate, and compare functions.
• Use functions to model relationships between
quantities.
Geometry
• Understand congruence and similarity using
physical models, transparencies, or geometry
software.
• Understand and apply the Pythagorean
Theorem.
• Solve real-world and mathematical problems
involving volume of cylinders, cones and
