ESSENTIAL LEARNING REQUIREMENTS
 
 
1ST SEMESTER -
What should you be able to do by the end of the first semester? 
You should be able to say...
 
  1. I can develop an understanding for all types of real numbers.
  2. I can define irrational numbers.
  3. I can compare and order real numbers.
  4. I can estimate the value of real numbers.
  5. I can solve problems by using different problem solving methods.
  6. I can solve problems using geometric models.
  7. I can apply geometric formulas, including the Pythagoream Theorem to solve problems.
  8. I can recognized and describe a dilation.
  9. I can determine whether the dilation will enlarge or reduce by the scale factor.
  10. I can solve equations.  I can do this by using the inverse operations:  add/subtract, multiply/divide, square/square roots, and cube/cube roots.
