Pre-Algebra Week of March 30

The third quarter benchmark test will be THURSDAY. Topics for PA 3rd Quarter Benchmark Test are listed below. Use your notes, past quizzes and tests to STUDY!!


--Identify and graph ordered pairs in the four quadrants of a coordinate plane.
--Given a polygon in the coordinate plane, will represent transformations — rotation and translation — by graphing the coordinates of the vertices of the transformed polygon and sketching the resulting figure, the image.
--Apply transformations (rotate or turn, reflect or flip, translate or slide, and dilate or scale) to geometric figures represented on graph paper.
--Identify applications of transformations, such as tiling, fabric design, art, and scaling.
--Construct a three-dimensional model, given the top, side, and/or bottom views
--Verify the Pythagorean Theorem, using diagrams, concrete materials, and measurement
--Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing length of a side of a right triangle when given the lengths of the other two sides.
--Investigate and describe the difference between the probability of an event found through simulation (experimental) versus the theoretical probability of that same event.
--Analyze problem situations, including games of chance, board games, or grading scales, and make predictions, using knowledge of probability.
--Identify and describe the number of possible arrangements of several objects, using a tree diagram or the Fundamental (Basic) Counting Principle.
--Create and solve problems involving the measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and the range of a set of data.
--Given a problem situation, will collect, analyze, display, and interpret data, using a variety of graphical methods, including frequency distributions, line plots, histograms, stem-and-leaf plots, box-and-whisker plots, and scattergrams.
--Make comparisons, predictions, and inferences, using information displayed in frequency distributions; box-and-whisker plots; scattergrams; line, bar, circle, and picture graphs; and histograms.
--Use a matrix to organize and describe data.
--Make inferences, conjectures, and predictions based on analysis of a set of data.
--Represent, analyze, and generalize a variety of patterns, including arithmetic sequences and geometric sequences, with tables, graphs, rules, and words in order to investigate and describe functional relationships.
--Write verbal expressions as algebraic expressions and sentences as equations.
