PR: : Patterns and Relations

PR.1: : Express and use patterns, variables and expressions, including those used in business and industry, with graphs to solve problems at home, in the community and in the workplace.

PR.1.1: : use relationships and patterns to summarize, generalize and predict when problem solving and decision making in life- and work-related contexts

PR.1.2: : generalize patterns arising from everyday problem-solving contexts, using mathematical expressions and equations and/or verifying by substitution

PR.2: : Use variables and equations to express, summarize and apply relationships as problem-solving tools in a restricted range of contexts.

PR.2.3: : interpret formulas related to practical situations and solve everyday problems using common arithmetic expressions and relationships; e.g., perimeter and area

SS: : Shape and Space

SS.1: : Estimate, measure and compare using whole numbers, decimals, fractions and metric (SI) and Imperial units of measure to solve everyday problems.

SS.1.1: : use appropriate metric (SI) and Imperial measuring strategies, tools and units to measure:

SS.1.1.a: : length

SS.1.1.b: : volume (capacity)

SS.1.1.c: : mass (weight)

SS.1.1.e: : time

SS.1.2: : measure within acceptable degrees of accuracy as required in life- and work-related situations

SS.1.3: : calculate elapsed time in everyday contexts

SS.1.4: : use conversion charts, calculators and/or other tools to compare and convert common metric (SI) and Imperial units of measure, as required in everyday contexts

SS.2: : Extend their awareness of objects and shapes, using visualization and symmetry, and create and examine patterns and designs, using visualization, congruence, symmetry, translation, rotation and reflection.

SS.2.6: : read and interpret scale drawings and models in workplace and community situations

SS.2.7: : use scale diagrams, including enlargements and reductions, to solve construction, renovation and other related problems

SS.2.9: : read and interpret maps to locate specific sites, determine distances, give directions or use public transportation

SP: : Statistics and Probability

SP.1: : Develop and implement a plan for the collection, display and examination of data and information, using technology and other strategies as required.

SP.1.1: : use information and data from a variety of sources to make comparisons, predictions, inferences, conclusions and/or decisions in everyday situations

SP.1.2: : record and organize information and data as appropriate in life- and work-related situations

SP.1.3: : use probability and statistics to predict upcoming events and to make decisions in everyday life
