Learning Outcomes and Standards
Learning Outcome
1. Perform the basic operations with numbers of the
real number system.
2. Use basic geometry concepts to solve problems
involving perimeter, area and volume of geometric
figures.
3. Evaluate the measures of angles utilizing definitions
and theorems involving angles.
4. Solve and apply simple linear equations and
inequalities.
5. Graph linear equations in the Cartesian Coordinate
Plane.
6. Evaluate the midpoint of and distance between two
points in the Cartesian Coordinate Plane.
8. Perform the basic operations with polynomials.
9. Apply the laws of exponents.
Standard(s)
1. Apply the appropriate rules to add, subtract,
multiply and divide two or more numbers of the real
number system.
2.Given an application, represent the problem with the
correct geometric figure, identify the quantity
(perimeter, area, etc), and apply the appropriate
formula.
3. Apply the definitions of vertical, right,
corresponding, complementary and supplementary
angles to evaluate angle measures.
4a. Given a simple linear equation or inequality apply
the properties of algebra to solve for the indicated
variable, providing the solution in the requested form.
4b. Model applications with linear equations and
inequalities.
5. Graph the line on the Cartesian Coordinate Plane
representing the given linear equation or key
components of the equation (slope, points, intercepts).
6a. Given two points from the Cartesian Coordinate
Plane, apply the formula for midpoint to evaluate the
midpoint of the given points.
6b. Apply the distance formula to two Cartesian
Coordinate points to find the distance between the
points.
8a. Apply appropriate rules to add, subtract, multiply
and divide two or more polynomials.
8b. From a list of algebraic terms, identify those terms
that are like terms.
8c. Evaluate the sum, difference, product, and quotient
of algebraic expressions by applying the appropriate
rules of combining and multiplying.
9. Apply the appropriate laws of exponents to simplify
problems involving the product and/or quotient of
expressions with exponents and to express answers
without any negative exponents.
