Unit 1 · 7 skills

Consumerism and Getting Paid

Best Buys and Promotions

Currency Exchange

Ways of Earning Income

The official wording · 7 outcomes
1.1
Compare the unit price of two or more given items
1.2
Determine the percent increase or decrease for a given original and new price
1.3
Explain the difference between the selling rate and purchasing rate for currency exchange
1.4
Describe, using examples, various methods of earning income
1.5
Determine in decimal form, from a time schedule, the total time worked in hours and minutes
1.6
Explain why gross pay and net pay are not the same
1.7
Determine gross pay for earnings acquired by: base wage, plus commission single commission rate

Key ideas

  1. Unit price lets you compare different package sizes.

  2. Buying and selling rates differ; the bank keeps the spread.

  3. Income can come as wage, tips, salary, commission, or contract.

  4. A promotion can make a worse deal look better.

  5. Proportional reasoning converts between currencies.

Watch out for

  • Comparing total prices instead of unit prices.
  • Using the wrong rate direction for a conversion.
  • Assuming all jobs pay an hourly wage.

Unit 2 · 2 skills

Formulas

Using Formulas on the Job

The official wording · 2 outcomes
2.1
Create and solve a contextual problem that involves a formula
2.2
Identify and correct errors in a solution to a problem that involves a formula

Key ideas

  1. A formula relates several quantities.

  2. Rearranging isolates the variable you need.

  3. A wrong rearrangement changes the answer.

  4. Different forms of a formula can give the same result.

Watch out for

  • Substituting into the wrong variable.
  • Rearranging by moving terms incorrectly.
  • Assuming a rearranged formula is automatically correct.

Unit 3 · 21 skills

Measuring Length, Area, and Angles

SI and Imperial Systems

Converting Between Systems

Linear Measurement

Area Measurement

Angles and Parallel Lines

The Pythagorean Theorem

Similar Polygons

The official wording · 21 outcomes
3.1
Explain how the SI system was developed, and explain its relationship to base ten
3.2
Explain how the imperial system was developed
3.3
Provide an approximate measurement in SI units for a measurement given in imperial units
3.4
Write a given linear measurement expressed in one SI unit in another SI unit
3.5
Provide an example of a situation in which a fractional linear measurement would be divided by a fraction
3.6
Measure inside diameters, outside diameters, lengths, widths of various given objects, and distances, using various measuring instruments
3.7
Solve a linear measurement problem including perimeter, circumference, and length
3.8
Determine, using a variety of strategies, the midpoint of a linear measurement such as length, width, height, depth, diagonal and diameter of a 3-D object, and explain the strategies
3.9
Identify and compare referents for area measurements in SI and imperial units
3.10
Solve a contextual problem that involves the area of a regular, a composite or an irregular 2-D shape
3.11
Solve a problem, using formulas for determining the areas of regular, composite and irregular 2-D shapes, including circles
3.12
Sort a set of lines as perpendicular, parallel or neither, and justify this sorting
3.13
Identify and name pairs of angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal
3.14
Determine if lines or planes are perpendicular or parallel
3.15
Measure, using a protractor, angles in various orientations
3.16
Explain and illustrate how angles can be replicated in a variety of ways
3.17
Describe historical and contemporary applications of the Pythagorean theorem
3.18
Determine if a given triangle is a right triangle, using the Pythagorean theorem
3.19
Solve a problem, using the Pythagorean theorem
3.20
Determine if two or more regular or irregular polygons are similar
3.21
Explain why two right triangles with a shared acute angle are similar

Key ideas

  1. SI units scale by powers of ten.

  2. Proportional reasoning converts between systems.

  3. Different instruments suit different measurements.

  4. A square grid estimates the area of an irregular shape.

  5. Complementary angles sum to 90 degrees; supplementary to 180.

Watch out for

  • Mixing up prefixes like centi and milli.
  • Flipping a conversion ratio the wrong way.
  • Reading an instrument from the wrong end.

Unit 4 · 2 skills

Trigonometry

The Primary Trigonometric Ratios

The official wording · 2 outcomes
4.1
generalize a formula for the tangent ratio
4.2
Identify situations where the trigonometric ratios are used for indirect measurement of angles and lengths

Key ideas

  1. Each ratio compares two sides of a right triangle for an angle.

  2. The ratio stays the same for a given angle in similar triangles.

  3. Trig ratios find a side or angle you cannot measure directly.

  4. Choosing the ratio depends on the sides you know.

Watch out for

  • Mixing up which sides each ratio uses.
  • Forgetting the ratio depends on the angle, not the size.
  • Choosing a ratio that does not match the known sides.
