Rigor/Relevance FrameworkRigor/Relevance Framework

• Express probabilities as fractions, percents, or decimals.

• Classify triangles according to angle size and/or length of sides.

• Calculate volume of simple three- dimensional shapes.

• Given the coordinates of a quadrilateral, plot the quadrilateral on a grid.

• Analyze the graphs of the perimeters and areas of squares having different-length sides.

• Determine the largest rectangular area for a fixed perimeter.

• Identify coordinates for ordered pairs that satisfy an algebraic relation or function.

• Determine and justify the similarity or congruence for two geometric shapes.

• Obtain historical data about local weather to predict the chance of snow, rain, or sun during year.

• Test consumer products and illustrate the data graphically.

• Plan a large school event and calculate resources (food, decorations, etc.) you need to organize and hold this event.

• Make a scale drawing of the classroom on grid paper, each group using a different scale.

• Calculate percentages of advertising in a newspaper.

• Tour the school building and identify examples of parallel and perpendicular lines, planes, and angles.

• Determine the median and mode of real data displayed in a histogram

• Organize and display collected data, using appropriate tables, charts, or graphs.
