decimals) and take positive rational numbers to whole-number powers. 1.3 Convert fractions to decimals and percents and use these representations in estimations

computations, and applications. Measurement and Geometry 1.0 Students choose appropriate units of measure and use ratios to convert within and between

measurement systems to solve problems: 1.1 Compare weights, capacities, geometric measures, times, and temperatures within and

between measurement systems (e.g., miles per hour and feet per second, cubic inches to cubic centimeters).

1.3 Use measures expressed as rates (e.g., speed, density) and measures expressed as products (e.g., person-days) to solve problems; check the units of the solutions; and use dimensional analysis to check the reasonableness of the answer.

2.0 Students compute the perimeter, area, and volume of common geometric objects and use the

results to find measures of less common objects. They know how perimeter, area, and volume are affected by changes of scale: 2.1 Use formulas routinely for finding the perimeter and area of basic two-dimensional figures

and the surface area and volume of basic three-dimensional figures, including rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, squares, triangles, circles, prisms, and cylinders.
