Learning Outcomes
1. (Synthesis Level) Perform the basic operations with numbers of the real number system by
applying mathematical rules.
2. (Application Level) Use basic geometry concepts to solve problems involving perimeter,
area, and volume of geometric figures.
3. (Evaluation Level) Evaluate the measures of angles utilizing definitions and theorems
involving angles, including vertical, right, corresponding, complementary, and supplementary
angles.
4. (Application Level) Solve and apply simple linear equations and inequalities.
5. (Evaluation Level) Graph and interpret linear equations in the Cartesian Coordinate Plane by
applying mathematical concepts such as the distance formula, midpoint formula and other
formulas, and use mathematical terminology appropriately, including: slope, points, and
intercepts.
6. (Analysis Level) Describe tendencies and make conjectures and predictions, and create table,
bar, circle, and line graphs based on the data set.
7. (Evaluation Level) Evaluate the midpoint of and distance between two points in the
Cartesian Coordinate Plane, and analyze data represented graphically.
8. (Synthesis Level) Perform the basic operations of polynomials.
9. (Application Level) Apply the laws of exponents, such as squared, cubed, to the power of X.
