CURRICULUM MAP

Key Stage Standards:

At the end of grade 10, the learner demonstrates understanding and appreciation of key concepts and skills involving numbers and number sense
(sets and real numbers); measurement (conversion of units); patterns and algebra (linear equations and inequalities in one and two variables, linear
functions,
systems of linear equations, and inequalities in two variables, exponents and radicals, quadratic equations, inequalities, functions, polynomials, and
polynomial equations and functions); geometry (polygons, axiomatic structure of geometry, triangle congruence, inequality and similarity, and basic
trigonometry);statistics and probability (measures of central tendency, variability and position; combinatorics and probability) as applied – using
appropriate technology - in critical thinking, problem solving, communicating, reasoning, making connections, representations, and decisions in real
life.

Grade Level Standards:

At the end of Grade 8, the learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts and principles of patterns and algebra (factors of polynomials, rational
algebraic expressions, linear equations and inequalities in two variables, systems of linear equations and inequalities in two variables); geometry
(axiomatic structure of geometry, triangle congruence, inequalities in a triangle, and parallel and perpendicular lines); and statistics and probability
(probability of simple events) as applied - using appropriate technology - in critical thinking, problem solving, reasoning, communicating, making
connections, representations, and decisions in real life.
