Explain the properties of the basic operations using models, numbers, and variables: (Zero property of multiplication; Associative properties of addition and multiplication; Commutative properties of addition and multiplication; Identity properties of addition and multiplication; Distributive properties of multiplication over addition and subtraction) (DOK 2)

2.e. Demonstrate and explain the inverse operations of addition/subtraction and multiplication/division. (DOK 2)

MS.3. Geometry: Analyze characteristics, properties, and relationships of two- and three-dimensional geometric shapes. Use coordinate geometry.

3.a. Analyze and describe the similarities and differences between and among two- and three-dimensional geometric shapes, figures, and models using mathematical language. (DOK 2)

3.b. Identify and analyze the relationships between and among points, lines, line segments, angles, and rays. (DOK 2)

4.c. Describe relationships of rectangular area to numerical multiplication. (DOK 2)

4.d. Use appropriate tools to determine, estimate, and compare units for measurement of weight/mass, area, size of angle, temperature, length, distance, and volume in English and metric systems and time in real-life situations. (DOK 1)

MS.5. Data Analysis and Probability: Formulate and analyze data. Evaluate inferences and predictions.

5.a. Draw, label, and interpret bar graphs, line graphs, and stem-and-leaf plots. (DOK 2)

5.b. Find and interpret the mean, mode, median, and range of a set of data. (DOK 1)

5.c. Compare data and interpret quantities represented on tables and graphs including line graphs, bar graphs, frequency tables, and stem-and-leaf plots to make predictions and solve problems based on the information. (DOK 3)
