Number Sense
The learner will be able to
know the properties of rational* and irrational* numbers expressed in a variety of forms. They understand and use exponents*, powers, and roots. * rational numbers: numbers that can be written as a ratio of two integers* (e.g., 1/2, 5/6, 23/9)
* integers: ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
* irrational numbers: numbers that cannot be written as a ratio of two integers *exponent: e.g., the exponent 4 in 3 4 tells you to write four 3s and compute 3 x 3 x 3 x 3

The learner will be able to
identify different methods of selecting samples, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of each method, and the possible bias in a sample or display.
Example: Describe possible bias in the following survey: A local television station has a daily call-in poll. Viewers of the morning and noon newscasts are asked to call one telephone number to answer "yes" and a different telephone number to answer "no." The results are reported on the six-o'clock newscast.

The learner will be able to
understand the meaning of, and be able to identify or compute the minimum value, the lower quartile*, the median*, the upper quartile*, the interquartile range, and the maximum value of a data set.
Example: Arrange a set of test scores in increasing order and find the lowest and highest scores, the median, and the upper and lower quartiles. *lower quartile: the value that separates the lowest one-fourth of the values from the rest of the values
*median: the value that divides a set of data written in order of size into two equal parts
*upper quartile: the value that separates the highest one-fourth of the values from the rest of the values

*Except 1967, 1973, 1975, and 1976.
In the years from 1951-1965, the slowest time was 3 h 57 min. Explain how the slowest time changed through the years 1951-1995. How did winning times change during that period? How did the median times change in the same period? *stem-and-leaf plot: e.g., this one shows 62, 63, 67, 71, 75, 75, 76, etc.

The learner will be able to
represent two-variable data with a scatterplot* on the coordinate plane and describe how the data points are distributed. If the pattern appears to be linear, draw a line that appears to best fit the data and write the equation of that line.
Example: Survey some of the students at each grade level in your school, asking them how much time they spend on homework. Plot the grade level and time of each student as a point (grade, time) on a scatter diagram. Describe and justify any relationship between grade and time spent on homework. *scatterplot: a coordinate graph showing ordered pairs of data

8.7.1
The learner will be able to
analyze problems by identifying relationships, telling relevant from irrelevant information, identifying missing information, sequencing and prioritizing information, and observing patterns.
Example: Solve the problem: "For computers, binary numbers are great because they are simple to work with and they use just two values of voltage, magnetism, or other signal. This makes hardware easier to design and more noise resistant. Binary numbers let you represent any amount you want using just two digits: 0 and 1. The number you get when you count ten objects is written 1010. In expanded notation, this is 1 x 2 3 + 0 x 2 2 + 1 x 2 1 + 0 x 2 0. Write the number for thirteen in the binary (base 2) system." Decide to make an organized list.
