Welcome to Finish Line Mathematics for the Common Core State Standards About This Book Finish Line Mathematics for the Common Core State Standards will help ou prepare for math tests. Each ear in math class, ou learn new skills and ideas. This book focuses on the math skills and ideas that are the most important for each grade. It is important to master the concepts ou learn each ear because mathematical ideas and skills build on each other. The things ou learn this ear will help ou understand and master the skills ou will learn net ear. This book has units of related lessons. Each lesson concentrates on one main math idea. The lesson reviews things ou have learned in math class. It provides eplanations and eamples. Along the side of each lesson page are reminders to help ou recall what ou learned in earlier grades. After the lesson come three pages of practice problems. The problems are the same kinds ou find on most math tests. The first page has multiple-choice, or selected-response, problems. Each item has four answers to choose from, and ou must select the best answer. At the top of the page is a sample problem with a bo beneath it that eplains how to find the answer. Then there are a number of problems for ou to do on our own. Constructed-response, or short-answer, items are on the net page. You must answer these items using our own words. Usuall, ou will need to show our work or write an eplanation of our answer in these items. This tpe of problem helps ou demonstrate that ou know how to do operations and carr out procedures. The also show that ou understand the skill. Again, the first item is a sample and its answer is eplained. You will complete the rest of the items b ourself. The last page has one or two etended-response problems. These items are like the short writing items, but the have more parts and are often a little harder. The first part ma ask ou to solve a problem and show our work. The second ma ask ou to eplain how ou found our answer or wh it is correct. This item has a hint to point ou in the right direction. At the end of each unit is a review section. The problems in it cover all the different skills and ideas in the lessons of that unit. The review contains multiplechoice, constructed-response, and etended-response items. A practice test and a glossar appear at the end of the book. The practice test gives ou a chance to tr out what ou ve learned. You will need to use all the skills ou have reviewed and practiced in the book on the practice test. The glossar lists important words and terms along with their definitions to help ou remember them. Introduction 5

The Goals of Learning Math Math is everwhere in the world around ou. You use math more than ou probabl realize to help ou understand and make sense of that world. But what does it mean to be good at math? To be good at math, ou need to practice certain habits. And ou need the right attitude. You make sense of problems and do not give up in solving them. You make sure ou understand the problem before ou tr to solve it. You form a plan and then carr out that plan to find an answer. Along the wa, ou ask ourself if what ou are doing makes sense. And if ou do not figure out the answer on the first tr, ou tr another wa. You think about numbers using smbols. You can think about a real-life situation as numbers and operations. You draw conclusions about situations and support them with proof. You use what ou know about numbers and operations to provide reasons for our conclusions and predictions. When ou read or hear someone else s eplanation, ou think about it and decide if it makes sense. You ask questions that help ou better understand the ideas. You model with mathematics. You represent real-life problems with a drawing or diagram, a graph, or an equation. You decide if our model makes sense. You use the right tools at the right time. You know how to use rulers, protractors, calculators, and other tools. More importantl, ou know when to use them. You are careful and accurate in our work. You calculate correctl and label answers. You use the correct smbols and definitions. You choose eactl the right words for our eplanations and descriptions. You look for structure in math. You see how different parts of math are related or connected. You can use an idea ou alread know to help ou understand a new idea. You make connections between things ou have alread learned and new ideas. You look for the patterns in math. When ou see the patterns, ou can find shortcuts to use that still lead ou to the correct answer. You are able to decide if our shortcut worked or not. These habits help ou master new mathematical ideas so that ou can remember and use them. All of these habits will make math easier to understand and to do. And that will make it a great tool to use in our everda life! 6 Introduction
