I can...

 * 1. show understanding of equivalence among fractions, decimals and percentages by converting, interchanging, and using them at the right times. || || ||
 * 2. classify and compare rational and irrational numbers by ordering them or by placing them on a number line, || || ||
 * 3. estimate approximate solutions when multiplying and dividing using with fractions and decimals. I can multiply and divide fractions and decimals. || || ||
 * 4. estimate solutions when adding and subtracting using fractions and decimals. I can compute solutions. I can explain why we need common denominators when adding and subtracting using fractions and why we must line up decimals when adding & subtracting using decimal numbers. || || ||
 * 5. show my understanding and compute ( - x ÷ ) using positive and negative integers. || || ||
 * 6. simplify algebraic expressions using order of operations, distributive property and combining like terms. || || ||
 * 7. simplify expressions with exponents and describe the size of a number with a negative exponent. || || ||
 * 8. solve single variable equations.  I can explain equivalence and how to use equivalence to solve equations. || || ||
 * 9. solve single variable inequalities algebraically and graphically. || || ||
 * 10. solve for the missing variable in a formula, including geometric measurement formulas. || || ||
 * 11. find missing measures in similar figures using proportion equations. I can explain connections between similarity and proportion. || ||

||
 * 12. write and solve ratio and proportion problems from a variety of contexts, including percentages and unit rates. || || ||
 * 13. use proportion to create or interpret scale drawings. I can find actual measurements from scale drawings. || || ||
 * 14. collect data from real life situations and organize the data in tables, graphs and equations. || || ||
 * 15. recognize a linear pattern and distinguish between linear and non-linear patterns in data, graphs and equations. I can graph that relationship and write an equation for that relationship ( y = mx b). || || ||
 * 16. describe the slope of a line as a ratio or unit rate in a real life situation. || || ||
 * 17. explain how the graph tells the story of the situation and how the equation tells the story of the situation. I can explain how the slope and the y intercept relate to the real life story. || || ||
 * 18. simplify, (, -, x, ÷) expressions with square roots. || || ||
 * 19. use Pythagorean Theorem to find a missing side of a right triangle || || ||
 * 20. estimate and measure real-life and geometric objects and determine whether my answer makes sense. || || ||
