CSO�s:
M.S.2.1
Number and Operations Through communication, representation,
reasoning and proof, problem solving, and making connections within and
beyond the field of mathematics, students will
� demonstrate understanding
of numbers, ways of representing numbers, and relationships among numbers
and number systems,
� demonstrate meanings
of operations and how they relate to one another, and
� compute fluently
and make reasonable estimates.
M.S.2.3
Geometry Through communication, representation, reasoning and
proof, problem solving, and making connections within and beyond the field
of mathematics, students will
� analyze characteristics
and properties of two- and three-dimensional geometric shapes and develop
mathematical arguments about geometric relationships,
� specify locations
and describe spatial relationships using coordinate geometry and other
representational systems,
� apply transformations
and use symmetry to analyze mathematical situations, and
� solve problems using
visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling.
