CCSS: Standards for Mathematical Practice

Note: These 8 Standards for Mathematical Practice play a critical role in student understanding

of the content standards set forth in the NC Standard Course of Study for Mathematics,

grades K – 12.

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.

3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

4. Model with mathematics.

5. Use appropriate tools strategically.

6. Attend to precision.

7. Look for and make use of structure.

8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

The Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Practice are expected to be integrated into every

mathematics lesson for all students, Grades K-12. Below are a few examples of how these Practices

may be integrated into tasks that students complete at grade 8.

|Standards for |Explanations and Examples |

|Mathematical Practice | |

|1. Make sense of problems & persevere in solving them. |In grade 8, students solve real world problems through the application of algebraic and geometric concepts. Students seek the meaning of a problem |

| |and look for efficient ways to represent and solve it. They may check their thinking by asking themselves: “What is the most efficient way to |

| |solve the problem?”, “Does this make sense?”; and “Can I solve the problem in a different way?” |

|2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. |In grade 8, students represent a wide variety of real world contexts through the use of real numbers and variables in mathematical expressions, |

| |equations, and inequalities. They examine patterns in data and assess the degree of linearity of functions. Students contextualize to understand |

| |the meaning of the number or variable as related to the problem and decontextualize to manipulate the symbol ic representations by applying |

| |properties of operations. |

|3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning |In grade 8, students construct arguments using verbal or written explanations accompanied by expressions, equations, inequalities, models, and |

|of others. |graphs, tables, and other data displays (i.e. box plots, dot plots, histograms, etc.). They further refine their mathematical communication skills |

| |through mathematical discussions in which they critically evaluate their own thinking and the thinking of other students. They pose questions like |

| |“How did you get that?”, “Why is that true?” “Does that always work?” They explain their thinking to others and respond to others’ thinking. |

|4. Model with mathematics. |In grade 8, students model problem situations symbolically, graphically, tabularly, and contextually. Students form expressions, equations, or |

| |inequalities from real world contexts and connect symbolic and graphical representations. Students solve systems of linear equations and compare |

| |properties of functions provided in different forms. Students use scatterplots to represent data and describe associations between variables. |

| |Students need many opportunities to connect and explain the connections between the different representations. They should be able to use all of |

| |these representations as appropriate to a problem context. |

|5. Use appropriate tools strategically. |Students consider available tools (including estimation and technology) when solving a mathematical problem and decide when certain tools might be |

| |helpful. For instance, students in grade 8 may translate a set of data given in tabular form to a graphical representation to compare it to another |

| |data set. Students might draw pictures, use applets, or write equations to show the relationships between the angles created by a transversal. |

|6. Attend to precision. |In grade 8, students continue to refine their mathematical communication skills by using clear and precise language in their discussions with others |

| |and in their own reasoning. Students use appropriate terminology when referring to the number system, functions, geometric figures, and data |

| |displays. |

|7. Look for and make use of structure. |Students routinely seek patterns or structures to model and solve problems. In grade 8, students apply properties to generate equivalent expressions|

| |and solve equations. Students examine patterns in tables and graphs to generate equations and describe relationships. Additionally, students |

| |experimentally verify the effects of transformations and describe them in terms of congruence and similarity. |

|8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. |In grade 8, students use repeated reasoning to understand algorithms and make generalizations about patterns. Students use iterative processes to |

| |determine more precise rational approximations for irrational numbers. They analyze patterns of repeating decimals to identify the corresponding |

| |fraction. During multiple opportunities to solve and model problems, they notice that the slope of a line and rate of change are the same value. |

| |Students flexibly make connections between covariance, rates, and representations showing the relationships between quantities. |

Grade 8 Math Critical Areas (from CCSS pg. 52)

The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

The Critical Areas are designed to bring focus to the Standards at each grade by describing the big ideas that educators can use to build their curriculum and to guide instruction.

1. Formulating and reasoning about expressions and equations, including modeling an association in bivariate data with a linear equation, and solving linear equations and systems of linear equations.

Students use linear equations and systems of linear equations to represent, analyze, and solve a variety of problems. Students recognize equations for proportions (y/x = m or y = mx) as special linear equations (y = mx + b), understanding that the constant of proportionality (m) is the slope, and the graphs are lines through the origin. They understand that the slope (m) of a line is a constant rate of change, so that if the input or x-coordinate changes by an amount A, the output or y-coordinate changes by the amount m·A. Students also use a linear equation to describe the association

between two quantities in bivariate data (such as arm span vs. height for students in a classroom). At this grade, fitting the model, and assessing its fit to the data are done informally. Interpreting the model in the context of the data requires students to express a relationship between the two quantities in question and to interpret components of the relationship (such as slope and y-intercept) in terms of the situation.

Students strategically choose and efficiently implement procedures to solve linear equations in one variable, understanding that when they use the

properties of equality and the concept of logical equivalence, they maintain the solutions of the original equation. Students solve systems of two

linear equations in two variables and relate the systems to pairs of lines in the plane; these intersect, are parallel, or are the same line. Students use linear equations, systems of linear equations, linear functions, and their understanding of slope of a line to analyze situations and solve problems.

2. Grasping the concept of a function and using functions to describe quantitative relationships.

Students grasp the concept of a function as a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. They understand that functions describe situations where one quantity determines another. They can translate among representations and partial representations of functions (noting that tabular and graphical representations may be partial representations), and they describe how aspects of the function are reflected in the different representations.

3. Analyzing two- and three-dimensional space and figures using distance, angle, similarity, and congruence, and understanding and applying the Pythagorean Theorem.

Students use ideas about distance and angles, how they behave under translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations, and ideas about congruence and similarity to describe and analyze two-dimensional figures and to solve problems. Students show that the sum of the angles in a triangle is the angle formed by a straight line, and that various configurations of lines give rise to similar triangles because of the angles created when a transversal cuts parallel lines. Students understand the statement of the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse, and can explain why the Pythagorean Theorem holds, for example, by decomposing a square in two different ways. They apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find distances between points on the coordinate plane, to find lengths, and to analyze polygons. Students complete their work on volume by solving problems involving cones, cylinders, and spheres.

Eighth Grade – 2010 NC Standard Course of Study – MATH

Critical Areas

1. Formulating and reasoning about expressions and equations, including modeling an

association in bivariate data with a linear equation, and solving linear equations and

systems of linear equations – Students use linear equations and systems of linear equations

to represent, analyze, and solve a variety of problems. Students recognize equations for

proportions (y/x = m or y = mx) as special linear equations (y = mx + b), understanding that

the constant of proportionality (m) is the slope, and the graphs are lines through the origin.

They understand that the slope (m) of a line is a constant rate of change, so that if the input or

x-coordinate changes by an amount A, the output or y-coordinate changes by the amount m·A.

Students also use a linear equation to describe the association between two quantities in

bivariate data (such as arm span vs. height for students in a classroom). At this grade, fitting

the model, and assessing its fit to the data are done informally. Interpreting the model in the

context of the data requires students to express a relationship between the two quantities in

question and to interpret components of the relationship (such as slope and y-intercept) in

terms of the situation. Students strategically choose and efficiently implement procedures to

solve linear equations in one variable, understanding that when they use the properties of

equality and the concept of logical equivalence, they maintain the solutions of the original

equation. Students solve systems of two linear equations in two variables and relate the

systems to pairs of lines in the plane; these intersect, are parallel, or are the same line.

Students use linear equations, systems of linear equations, linear functions, and their

understanding of slope of a line to analyze situations and solve problems.

2. Grasping the concept of a function and using functions to describe quantitative

relationships – Students grasp the concept of a function as a rule that assigns to each input

exactly one output. They understand that functions describe situations where one quantity

determines another. They can translate among representations and partial representations of

functions (noting that tabular and graphical representations may be partial representations),

and they describe how aspects of the function are reflected in the different representations.

3. Analyzing two- and three-dimensional space and figures using distance, angle, similarity,

and congruence, and understanding and applying the Pythagorean Theorem – Students

use ideas about distance and angles, how they behave under translations, rotations,

reflections, and dilations, and ideas about congruence and similarity to describe and analyze

two-dimensional figures and to solve problems. Students show that the sum of the angles in

a triangle is the angle formed by a straight line, and that various configurations of lines give

rise to similar triangles because of the angles created when a transversal cuts parallel lines.

Students understand the statement of the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse, and can

explain why the Pythagorean Theorem holds, for example, by decomposing a square in two

different ways. They apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find distances between points on the

coordinate plane, to find lengths, and to analyze polygons. Students complete their work on

volume by solving problems involving cones, cylinders, and spheres.

MATHEMATICAL PRACTICES

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.

3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

4. Model with mathematics.

5. Use appropriate tools strategically.

6. Attend to precision.

7. Look for and make use of structure.

8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

THE NUMBER SYSTEM ( Weight of Standard: 2 – 7%) 8.NS

Know that there are numbers that are not rational, and approximate them by rational numbers.

8.NS.1 Understand informally that every number has a decimal expansion; the rational numbers

are those with decimal expansions that terminate in 0s or eventually repeat. Know that

other numbers are called irrational.

8.NS.2 Use rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers,

locate them approximately on a number line diagram, and estimate the value of expressions.

For example, by truncating the decimal expansion of [pic], show that [pic]is between 1 and 2,

then between 1.4 and 1.5, and explain how to continue on to get better approximations.

EXPRESSIONS AND EQUATIONS (Weight of Std: 27 – 32%) 8.EE

Work with radicals and integer exponents.

8.EE.1 Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical

expressions. For example, 32× 3-5 = 3-3 = 1/33 = 1/27.

8.EE.2 Use square root and cube root symbols to represent solutions to equations of the form

x2 = p and x3 = p, where p is a positive rational number. Evaluate square roots of small

perfect squares and cube roots of small perfect cubes. Know that [pic]is irrational.

8.EE.3 Use numbers expressed in the form of a single digit times an integer power of 10 to estimate

very large or very small quantities, and to express how many times as much one is than the

other. For example, estimate the population of the United States as 3 × 10 8 and the population

of the world as 7 × 10 9, and determine that the world population is more than 20 times larger.

8.EE.4 Perform operations with numbers expressed in scientific notation, including problems where

both decimal and scientific notation are used. Use scientific notation and choose units of

appropriate size for measurements of very large or very small quantities (e.g., use millimeters

per year for seafloor spreading). Interpret scientific notation that has been generated by

technology.

Understand the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations.

8.EE.5 Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare

two different proportional relationships represented in different ways.

For example, compare a distance-time graph to a distance-time equation to determine

which of two moving objects has greater speed.

8.EE.6 Use similar triangles to explain why the slope m is the same between any two distinct points

on a nonvertical line in the coordinate plane; derive the equation y = mx for a line through the

origin and the equation y = mx + b for a line intercepting the vertical axis at b.

Analyze and solve linear equations and pairs of simultaneous linear equations.

8.EE.7 Solve linear equations in one variable.

a. Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or

no solutions. Show which of these possibilities is the case by successively transforming the

given equation into simpler forms, until an equivalent equation of the form x = a, a = a, or a = b

results (where a and b are different numbers).

b. Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions

require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms.

8.EE.8 Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations.

a. Understand that solutions to a system of two linear equations in two variables correspond to

points of intersection of their graphs, because points of intersection satisfy both equations

simultaneously.

b. Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables algebraically, and estimate solutions

by graphing the equations. Solve simple cases by inspection. For example, 3x + 2y = 5 and

3x + 2y = 6 have no solution because 3x + 2y cannot simultaneously be 5 and 6.

c. Solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to two linear equations in two variables.

For example, given coordinates for two pairs of points, determine whether the line through

the first pair of points intersects the line through the second pair.

FUNCTIONS (Weight of Standard: 22 – 27%) 8.F

Define, evaluate, and compare functions.

8.F.1 Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The

graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding

output. (Note: Function notation is not required in Grade 8.)

8.F.2 Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically,

graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a

linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an

algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change.

8.F.3 Interpret the equation y = mx + b as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight

line; give examples of functions that are not linear. For example, the function A = s2

giving the area of a square as a function of its side length is not linear because its graph

contains the points (1,1), (2,4) and (3,9), which are not on a straight line.

Use functions to model relationships between quantities.

8.F.4 Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the

rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from

two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of

change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in

terms of its graph or a table of values.

8.F.5 Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a

graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a

graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally.

GEOMETRY (Weight of Standard: 20 – 25%) 8.G

Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software.

8.G.1 Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations:

a. Lines are taken to lines, and line segments to line segments of the same length.

b. Angles are taken to angles of the same measure.

c. Parallel lines are taken to parallel lines.

8.G.2 Understand that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if the second can be

obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, and translations; given

two congruent figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the congruence between them.

8.G.3 Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and reflections on two-dimensional

figures using coordinates.

8.G.4 Understand that a two-dimensional figure is similar to another if the second can be

obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations;

given two similar two-dimensional figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the similarity

between them.

8.G.5 Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of

triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the

angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles. For example, arrange three copies of the

same triangle so that the sum of the three angles appears to form a line, and give an

argument in terms of transversals why this is so.

Understand and apply the Pythagorean Theorem.

8.G.6 Explain a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse.

8.G.7 Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side lengths in right triangles

in real world and mathematical problems in two and three dimensions.

8.G.8 Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between two points in a

coordinate system.

Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving volume of cylinders, cones,

and spheres.

8.G.9 Know the formulas for the volumes of cones, cylinders, and spheres and use them to

solve real world and mathematical problems.

STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY (Weight of Std: 15 – 20%) 8.SP

Investigate patterns of association in bivariate data.

8.SP.1 Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate

patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering,

outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association.

8.SP.2 Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships between two quantitative

variables. For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line,

and informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line.

8.SP.3 Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context of bivariate measurement

data, interpreting the slope and intercept. For example, in a linear model for a biology

experiment, interpret a slope of 1.5 cm/hr as meaning that an additional hour of

sunlight each day is associated with an additional 1.5 cm in mature plant height.

8.SP.4 Understand that patterns of association can also be seen in bivariate categorical data by

displaying frequencies and relative frequencies in a two-way table. Construct and

interpret a two-way table summarizing data on two categorical variables collected from

the same subjects. Use relative frequencies calculated for rows or columns to describe

possible association between the two variables. For example, collect data from students in

your class on whether or not they have a curfew on school nights and whether or not they

have assigned chores at home. Is there evidence that those who have a curfew also tend to

have chores?

NOTE: The textbook does not provide complete, in-depth coverage of the 2010 NC Standard Course of Study for Mathematics. Teachers will need to supplement with additional resources that provide standards-based activities that align with the Content Standards and the Standards for Mathematical Practice.

By standards-based, we mean that students are learning mathematics by exploring mathematically-rich tasks and sharing strategies, ideas, and approaches with one another. During these activities, the teacher’s role is to truly facilitate learning by posing a task, asking questions that guide students’ understanding, and assessing students’ mathematical understanding.

The phases of a lesson that involves a rich tasks might include:

? Engage- Students open the lesson by engaging in a brief activity to build upon students’ prior knowledge.

? Explore- Students explore a mathematically rich task or activity that includes the main mathematical goals. During this phase, the teacher may model how to play a game or do an activity, but should not model or over teach strategies or procedures.

? Explain- Students discuss strategies and mathematical ideas from the Explore phase. The teacher may teach content and emphasize concepts or strategies here.

? Elaborate- Students complete a follow-up activity or task that extends their work from Explore and the discussion of concepts in Explain.

? Evaluation of Students

- Formative Assessment- How can the teacher assess students during the lesson?

- Summative Assessment- How can the teacher assess students’ work after the lesson?

Sample lessons that involve mathematically-rich tasks will be available at
