Super Fun Math Awesome Class

The first six weeks we will be covering Variables and Patterns these are the goals that correspond with it.

Variables and Patterns Goals:

  1. Identify quantitative variables in situations.
  2. Recognize situations where changes in variables are related in useful patterns.
  3. Describe patterns of change shown in words, tables, and graphs of data.
  4. Construct tables and graphs to display relations among variables.
  5. Observe relationships between two quantitative variables as shown in a table, graph, or equation and describe how the relationship can be seen in each of the other forms of representation.
  6. Use algebraic symbols to write rules and equations relating variables.
  7. Use tables, graphs, and equations, to solve problems.
  8. Use graphing calculators to construct tables and graphs of relations between variables and to answer questions about these relations.

Key Vocabulary: change, coordinate graph, coordinate pair, dependent variable, distance/time/rate of speed, equation, formula, income/cost/profit, independent variable, pattern, relationship, rule, scale, table, variable, x-axis, x-coordinate, y-axis, y-coordinate

Comparing and Scaling Goals:

  1. Analyze comparison statements made about quantitative data.
  2. Use ratios, fractions, differences, and percents to form comparison statements in a given situation, such as "What is the ratio of boys to girls in our Class?", " What fraction of the class is going to the spring picnic?", "What percent of the girls play basketball?"
  3. Judge whether comparison statements make sense and are useful.
  4. Make judgements about which statements are most informative or best reflect a particular point of view.

Key Vocabulary for this Unit: Rate, Ratio, Proportion, Unit Rate, Rate Table

Terms that will from previous units: average, compare, data, decimal, denominator, dependent, difference, equation, equivalence, fraction, graph/coordinate graph, independent, mean, percent, scale/scaling factor/scale factor, variables
