Number Sense
 
The learner will be able to 
compute with whole numbers*, decimals, and fractions and understand the relationship among decimals, fractions, and percents. They understand the relative magnitudes of numbers. They understand prime* and composite* numbers.                                                      *whole numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.
*prime number: number that can be evenly divided only by 1 and itself (e.g., 2, 3, 5, 7, 11)
*composite number: not a prime number (e.g., 4, 6, 8, 9, 10)

The learner will be able to 
find the mean*, median*, mode*, and range* of a set of data and describe what each does and does not tell about the data set. 
Example: Find the mean, median, and mode of a set of test results and describe how well each represents the data.                                                                                                      *mean: the average obtained by adding the values and dividing by the number of values
*median: the value that divides a set of data written in order of size into two equal parts
*mode: the most common value in a set of data
*range: the difference between the largest and the smallest values

The learner will be able to 
understand that probability can take any value between 0 and 1, events that are not going to occur have probability 0, events certain to occur have probability 1, and more likely events have a higher probability than less likely events.
Example: What is the probability of rolling a 7 with a number cube?

The learner will be able to 
analyze problems by identifying relationships, telling relevant from irrelevant information, sequencing and prioritizing information, and observing patterns.
Example: Solve the problem: "When you flip a coin 3 times, you can get 3 heads, 3 tails, 2 heads and 1 tail, or 1 head and 2 tails. Find the probability of each of these combinations." Notice that the case of 3 heads and the case of 3 tails are similar. Notice that the case of 2 heads and 1 tail and the case of 1 head and 2 tails are similar.
