Formulate and solve standard and real-life problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of rational numbers. (DOK 2) Rational numbers are included in the sixth grade CCSS. 1 PA.1.d. Simplify and evaluate expressions using order of operations and use real number properties to justify solutions. (DOK 2) Order of operations is first introduced in the third grade CCSS as well as fractions a/b where a is a positive whole number and b is a positive whole number (non-negative number). 1
1 8.EE.7. Solve linear equations in one variable. a. Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions. Show which of these possibilities is the case by successively transforming the given equation into simpler forms, until an equivalent equation of the form x = a, a = a, or a = b results (where a and b are different numbers). b. Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms. PA.2.a. Simplify and evaluate numerical and algebraic expressions. (DOK 1) 1 PA.2.b. Apply properties of real numbers with an emphasis on the distributive properties of multiplication over addition and subtraction. (DOK 1) 1 8.EE.7. Solve linear equations in one variable. a. Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions. Show which of these possibilities is the case by successively transforming the given equation into simpler forms, until an equivalent equation of the form x = a, a = a, or a = b results The distributive property is introduced in third grade and includes fractions in the sixth grade CCSS. PA.2.c. Solve and check equations and inequalities using one variable. (DOK 2) 2
(where a and b are different numbers). b. Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms. 1 PA.2.d. Model inequalities (and their solutions) on a number line. (DOK 1) 1 8.NS.1. Understand informally that every number has a decimal expansion; the rational numbers are those with decimal expansions that terminate in 0s or eventually repeat. Know that other numbers are called irrational. 8.NS.2. Use rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers, locate them approximately on a number line diagram, and estimate the value of expressions (e.g., π2). For example, by truncating the decimal expansion of 2, show that 2 is between 1 and 2, then between 1.4 and 1.5, and explain how to continue on to get better approximations. 1 8.F.1. Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output. Inequalities and their solutions are included in the sixth grade CCSS. PA.1.a. Define, classify, and order rational and irrational numbers and their subsets. (DOK 1) 3
8.F.2. Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change. 8.F.3. Interpret the equation y = mx + b as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear. For example, the function A = s2 giving the area of a square as a function of its side length is not linear because its graph contains the points (1,1), (2,4) and (3,9), which are not on a straight line. 8.F.4. Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values. 8.F.5. Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the 4
qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally. 2 8.EE.1. Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions. For example, 32 3 5 = 3 3 = 1/33 = 1/27. PA.1.e. Explain the rules of exponents related to multiplication and division of terms with exponents. (DOK 2) The CCSS narrows the standard to integer exponents. 2 8.EE.3. Use numbers expressed in the form of a single digit times an integer power of 10 to estimate very large or very small quantities, and to express how many times as much one is than the other. For example, estimate the population of the United States as 3 108 and the population of the world as 7 109, and determine that the world population is more than 20 times larger. 8.EE.4. Perform operations with numbers expressed in scientific notation, including problems where both decimal and scientific notation are used. Use scientific notation and choose units of appropriate size for measurements of very large or very small quantities (e.g., use millimeters per year for seafloor spreading). Interpret scientific notation that has been generated by technology. 2 8.EE.2. Use square root and cube root symbols to represent solutions to equations of the form x2 = p and x3 = p, PA.1.f. Recognize and appropriately use exponential and scientific notation. (DOK 1) PA.1.g. Explain and use the inverse relationship between square roots and squares. (DOK 2) 5
where p is a positive rational number. Evaluate square roots of small perfect squares and cube roots of small perfect cubes. Know that 2 is irrational. 2 8.EE.7. Solve linear equations in one variable. a. Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions. Show which of these possibilities is the case by successively transforming the given equation into simpler forms, until an equivalent equation of the form x = a, a = a, or a = b results (where a and b are different numbers). b. Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms. 2 8.G.6. Explain a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse. 8.G.7. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side lengths in right triangles in real-world and mathematical problems in two and three PA.2.a. Simplify and evaluate numerical and algebraic expressions. (DOK 1) PA.3.c. Explain the Pythagorean Theorem and apply it to solve routine and non-routine problems. (DOK 3) The MMFR objective includes non-routine problems, and the CCSS includes the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem. dimensions. 2 PA.3.d. Solve real-world and non-routine problems involving congruent and similar figures. (DOK 3) 2 PA.4.b. Develop, analyze, and explain methods for solving problems involving proportions, such as scaling and finding equivalent ratios. (DOK 3) 6
2 8.G.9. Know the formulas for the volumes of cones, cylinders, and spheres, and use them to solve realworld and mathematical problems. PA.4.c. Use formulas and/or appropriate measuring tools to find length and angle measures (to appropriate levels of precision), perimeter, area, volume, and surface area of polygons, circles, spheres, cones, pyramids, and composite or irregular figures. (DOK 1) The MMFR objective clearly specifies the use of appropriate measuring tools. 3 8.G.5. Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles. For example, arrange three copies of the same triangle so that the sum of the three angles appears to form a line, and give an argument in terms of transversals why this is so. 3 8.G.5. Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles. For example, arrange three copies of the same triangle so that the sum of the three angles appears to form a line, and give an argument in terms of transversals why this is so. PA.3.a. Locate and identify angles formed by parallel lines cut by a transversal(s) (e.g., adjacent, vertical, complementary, supplementary, corresponding, alternate interior, and alternate exterior). (DOK 1) The CCSS includes three sets of angle formations, while the MMFR objectives focus on angles formed by parallel lines cut by a transversal. PA.3.b. Find missing angle measurements for parallel lines cut by a transversal(s) and for a vertex of a polygon. (DOK 1) The CCSS includes three sets of angle formations, while the MMFR objectives focus on angles formed by parallel lines cut by a transversal. 3 PA.3.e. 7
Use two-dimensional representations (nets) of three-dimensional objects to describe objects from various perspectives. (DOK 2) 3 PA.4.a. Solve real-world application problems that include length, area, perimeter, and circumference using standard measurements. (DOK 2) 3 8.G.9. Know the formulas for the volumes of cones, cylinders, and spheres, and use them to solve realworld and mathematical problems. PA.4.c. Use formulas and/or appropriate measuring tools to find length and angle measures (to appropriate levels of precision), perimeter, area, volume, and surface area of polygons, circles, spheres, cones, pyramids, and composite or irregular figures. (DOK 1) The MMFR objective clearly specifies the use of appropriate measuring tools. 3 PA.5.a. Use a given mean, mode, median, and range to summarize and compare data sets including investigation of the different effects that change in data values have on these measures. (DOK 2) These are included in the sixth grade CCSS. 3 PA.5.b. Select the appropriate measures of central tendency for a particular purpose. (DOK 2) 3 8.SP.1. Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and These are included in the sixth grade CCSS. PA.5.d. Construct and interpret scatter plots to generalize trends from given data sets. (DOK 3) 8
nonlinear association. The CCSS is more specific about specific patterns to use when constructing and using scatter plots for bivariate measurement data. 8.SP.4. Understand that patterns of association can also be seen in bivariate categorical data by displaying frequencies and relative frequencies in a two-way table. Construct and interpret a two-way table summarizing data on two categorical variables collected from the same subjects. Use relative frequencies calculated for rows or columns to describe possible association between the two variables. For example, collect data from students in your class on whether or not they have a curfew on school nights and whether or not they have assigned chores at home. Is there evidence that those who have a curfew also tend to have chores? The CCSS is more explicit on how the data are to be displayed and interpreted. 3 PA.5.c. Make and list conjectures by calculating probability for experimental or simulated contexts. (DOK 3) This is included in the sixth grade CCSS. 4 8.EE.5. Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in PA.2.e. Graph linear equations and non-linear equations (y = x²) using multiple methods including t-tables and slope-intercept. (DOK 2) 9
different ways. For example, compare a distancetime graph to a distance-time equation to determine which of two moving objects has greater speed. 4 8.F.4. Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values. 4 8.F.2. Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change. 4 8.SP.3. Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context of bivariate measurement data, interpreting the slope and intercept. For example, in a linear model for a biology experiment, interpret a slope of 1.5 cm/hr as meaning that an additional hour of sunlight each day is associated The MMFR objective includes multiple methods that could include the comparison of proportional relationships, but the objective is not that explicit. PA.2.f. Given a linear graph, identify its slope as positive, negative, undefined, or zero, and interpret slope as rate of change. (DOK 2) The CCSS prompts students to think of a function as a model of a linear relationship between two quantities, while the MMFR objective focuses on identifying attributes of a slope. PA.2.g. Determine slope, x-intercept, and y-intercept from a graph and/or equation in slope-intercept or standard form. (DOK 1) While both the MMFR objective and the CCSS have similarity in the concepts used, the CCSS is asking for comparison between two functions. PA.2.i. Predict characteristics of a graph given an equation or t-table. (DOK 2) The MMFR objective appears more rigorous than the CCSS. 10
with an additional 1.5 cm in mature plant height. Examples in the CCSS provide guidance to draw attention to the concepts involved. 8.F.1. Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output.1 1 Function notation is not required in Grade 8. 4 PA.1.c. Apply the concepts of Greatest Common Factor (GCF) and Least Common Multiple (LCM) to monomials with variables. (DOK 2) GCF and LCM are included in the sixth grade CCSS. 4 PA.2.h. Add, subtract, and multiply monomials and binomials. (DOK 1) Applying the properties to generate equivalent expressions is included in the sixth grade CCSS. 4 Review/Remediate/Enrich for both curriculums The following CCSS are not listed in the MS Mathematics Framework: 8.EE.6. Use similar triangles to explain why the slope m is the same between any two distinct points on a non-vertical line in the coordinate plane; derive the equation y = mx for a line through the origin and the equation y = mx + b for a line intercepting the vertical axis at b. 11
(While slope-intercept is used as a method to solve linear and non-linear equations, it is unclear whether the MMFR objective 2.e includes the method of using similar triangles.) 8.EE.8. Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations. a. Understand that solutions to a system of two linear equations in two variables correspond to points of intersection of their graphs, because points of intersection satisfy both equations simultaneously. b. Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables algebraically, and estimate solutions by graphing the equations. Solve simple cases by inspection. For example, 3x + 2y = 5 and 3x +2y = 6 have no solution because 3x + 2y cannot simultaneously be 5 and 6. c. Solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to two linear equations in two variables. For example, given coordinates for two pairs of points, determine whether the line through the first pair of points intersects the line through the second pair. (Pairs of simultaneous linear equations are not addressed at this grade level in the MMFR objectives. These are included in Algebra I of the MMFR.) 8.G.1. Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations: a. Lines are taken to lines, and line segments to line segments of the same length. b. Angles are taken to angles of the same measure. c. Parallel lines are taken to parallel lines. (Transformational Geometry is introduced at grade 4 in the MMFR). 8.G.2. Understand that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, and translations; given two congruent figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the congruence between them. (While a geometry MMFR objective in grade 7 speaks of congruency, congruency is not addressed in relation to transformations.) 12
8.G.3. Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and reflections on two-dimensional figures using coordinates. (While transformations are introduced in fourth grade in the MMFR, it is not to the rigor level of these in the CCSS.) 8.G.4. Understand that a two-dimensional figure is similar to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations; given two similar two-dimensional figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the similarity between them. (While transformations are introduced in fourth grade in the MMFR, it is not to the rigor level of these in the CCSS.) 8.G.8. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between two points in a coordinate system. (The application of the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between two points in a coordinate system is not explicit in the MMFR until Algebra I.) 8.SP.2. Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships between two quantitative variables. For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line. 13
