Study Notes

Number and Quantity

Understanding and working with whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, and real numbers is fundamental. This includes identifying properties like commutative, associative, and distributive properties.
Operations with rational numbers (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) are crucial. Students should be fluent in these operations, including handling negative numbers and fractions effectively.
Decimals and fractions are closely related. Conversion between the two forms is a necessary skill.
Students should be able to order and compare rational numbers.

Expressions and Equations

Simplifying expressions using order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS) is essential. Understanding the hierarchy of operations and the different groupings within expressions is vital.
Evaluating algebraic expressions involves substituting given values for variables. This connects algebra to arithmetic.
Solving simple one-step and two-step equations is a core skill. Students need to isolate the variable through addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Representing real-world problems using equations is critical. It involves translating words into mathematical equations and vice-versa.
Understanding formulas, such as area formulas (rectangle, triangle) and perimeter formulas, and applying them to calculate quantities.

Geometry

Understanding and applying geometric concepts like points, lines, angles, and planes.
Classifying angles (acute, obtuse, right, straight, etc.) and understanding angle relationships (complementary, supplementary).
Calculating the perimeter and area of different shapes (rectangles, parallelograms, triangles, and circles). Students should know formulas and use them appropriately.
Understanding and applying concepts related to two-dimensional shapes (area, perimeter, volume).
Visualizing and interacting with 2D shapes is important, from drawing them to recognizing their properties and relationships.
Constructing different types of angles using tools like protractors.
Students should be familiar with basic 3D shapes and recognize their properties and basic elements.

Statistics and Probability

Collecting and organizing data through methods like tables and charts. Students should know how to use different representations (bar charts, pie charts, line graphs).
Calculating measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode). Understanding which measure best represents a data set is important.
Understanding different types of data (categorical and numerical).
Recognizing different displays and formats of data is a critical skill, including reading and interpreting information from data representations.
Comparing and contrasting data sets. This encompasses understanding variance and consistency in data through visual representations like histograms.
Determining probability of events using different methods like tables and tree diagrams. Focusing on basic theoretical probability, recognizing possible outcomes.

Functions

Recognizing and interpreting functions in various representations (tables, graphs, equations).
Determining the domain and range of functions from graphs or tables.
Understanding independent and dependent variables in functional relationships.
Interpreting graphs by identifying intercepts and interpreting the meaning of the graph within a context.

Measurement

Using appropriate units in measurement (length, weight, and volume).
Converting between different units of measurement within the same system. This includes converting between units like inches and feet, grams and kilograms.
Approximating measurements, understanding and using estimation in different contexts.
