      Solve two-step linear equations where coefficients are less than 10 and answers are integers.M.AAS.8.12

  •  

    Explain, evaluate, and compare functions.  

    1. 10

    2. 11

      Identify linear and nonlinear functions graphically. M.AAS.8.15

  •  

    Use functions to model relationships between quantities.

    1. 12

      Given a simple scatter plot of points in a straight line, describe the relationship between the two quantities.M.AAS.8.17

Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability

  •  

    Investigate patterns of association in bivariate data.

    1.  

      (Standards addressed in grade before)

Geometry and Measurement

  •  

    Understand congruence and similarity using physical models or technology. 

    1. 13

      Identify 3 different transformations (e.g., reflection, rotation, translation). M.AAS.8.22

    2. 14

      Recognize the reflection (across the x- or y-axis) and translation (across quadrants) of a two- dimensional figure on a coordinate plane (limited to non-equilateral rectangles and triangles).M.AAS.8.23

  •  

    Analyze parallel lines cut by a transversal.

    1. 15

      Compare any angle to a right angle using greater than, less than, or congruent to the right angle.  M.AAS.8.25

  •  

    Understand and apply the Pythagorean Theorem.

    1. 16

      Identify vertical angles given two parallel lines cut by a transversal.M.AAS.8.26

    2. 17

      Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse when given the measures of two legs in a real-world context. Limit to Pythagorean triples.M.AAS.8.27

  •  

    Solve realworld and mathematical problems involving volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres.  

    1. 18

      Use the formulas for perimeter, area, and volume to solve real-world and mathematical problems (where volume problems are limited to finding the volume of cylinders and rectangular prisms).M.AAS.8.30
