Unit 1 · 2 skills
Analysis of Games and Numbers
Puzzles and Games with Numerical Reasoning
Winning strategies for number puzzles
I can find and explain a strategy that wins a number puzzle or game.
Skill 1.1
Inventing and adapting a number game
I can invent a variation of a number game and describe how to win it.
Skill 1.2
The official wording · 2 outcomes
- 1.1
- Analyze puzzles and games that involve numerical reasoning, using problem-solving strategies.
- 1.2
- Analyze puzzles and games that involve numerical reasoning, using problem-solving strategies.
Key ideas
A strategy is a repeatable, explainable plan like look-for-a-pattern or work-backward.
Testing a strategy against the game shows whether it really wins.
Watch out for
- Thinking a lucky win is the same as a strategy.
- Stopping at one answer instead of checking the strategy always works.

Key ideas
Simple interest I = Prt is calculated only on the original principal.
Compound interest also earns interest on previously earned interest.
Compounding more often increases the total interest earned.
The Rule of 72 estimates how long an investment takes to double.
Credit options include credit cards, personal loans, lines of credit, and overdraft.
Watch out for
- Applying interest to a growing balance when it should be simple.
- Using time in the wrong units for the rate.
- Using the wrong compounding period.

Volume is the space an object occupies; capacity is how much it holds.
Converting a cubed unit uses the cube of the linear conversion factor.
A cone's volume is one-third of a cylinder with the same base and height.
Watch out for
- Confusing surface area with volume.
- Missing a face when adding up the surfaces.
- Treating volume and capacity as identical.

Choosing and interpreting graphs
I can choose the right graph for data and read it correctly.
Skill 4.1
The official wording · 1 outcomes
- 4.1
- Solve problems that involve creating and interpreting graphs, including bar graphs histograms line graphs circle graphs
Key ideas
Different graphs suit different data: bar for categories, line for trends over time, circle for parts of a whole.
The same data on different graphs can emphasize different points.
Watch out for
- Using a circle graph for data that is not parts of a whole.
- Reading a misleading axis without noticing.

Prioritizing expenses helps a budget meet personal goals.
Accounts differ in service charges, features, and record-keeping options.
Online, ATM, and in-branch services each carry different charges.
Passwords, PIN protection, and encryption protect financial information.
Watch out for
- Forgetting unexpected or irregular expenses.
- Budgeting more than the available income.
- Choosing an account without comparing service charges.
