Applied Mathematics/Measurement
Using mathematics to solve problems

  • Computation
    • Add, subtract, multiply, and divide with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percents
    • Calculate averages, ratios, proportions and rates; convert decimals to fractions
    • Convert fractions to percents
  • Basic Algebraic Functions
    • Applied Geometric Principles
      • Analyze characteristics and properties of two and three dimensional geometric shapes
      • Use geometric terms, such as spatial coordinates, with concrete objects and drawings
      • Use visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to solve problems
    • Measurement and Estimation
      • Take measurements of time, temperature, distances, length, width, height, perimeter, area, volume, weight, velocity, and speed
      • Use and report measurements correctly
      • Convert from one measurement to another (e.g., from English to Metric)
      • Estimate sizes, distances, and quantities; or determine time, costs, resources, or materials needed to perform a work activity
    • Application
      • Perform basic math computations accurately
      • Translate practical problems into useful mathematical expressions
      • Use appropriate mathematical formulas and techniques
